Lyrics

5:45 on Connecticut Avenue,
creeping along behind an '05 Subaru.
Those letters and numbers seem so familiar.
Could it be true?

Is that Michael's plate? I think that's Michael's plate.
How'd those safety snobs get to take it?
He won't pick up the phone, so I won't know 'til tomorrow if I'm mistaken.

It makes me smile each time I see a friend on TV
or Stenson takes a shot and someone shouts, "La Cheeserie!"
or my classmate's initials on the bumper of a Chevy.

That's a great plate, baby; that's a cool, cool plate.
You know, I went to school with Donna Karan.
I just saw Brent Glass on an Olds Cutlass and Jim Steinman on a Chrysler LeBaron…

    Ok. I'd caught that much, but wanted to make sure I hadn't let my attention wander and missed someone mentioning a specific maximum duration. Glad to join the online conversation here. Hope to find a little time away from my real writing/recording work every now and again to throw a tune or two into the mix.

    No specific limit has been provided. Tony said he'll reveal all those details at an unspecified future time.

    Thanks, everyone. Can someone clue me in on the time limit? (I'm sure I could ask my google machine about digital media royalty payment agreements and deduce an answer, but this seems easier.) I'd like to contribute, but want a shot at making the mailbag when I do.

    This is so great! More than worthy of breaking the new time limit "rule" Total coolness...oh, and did I mention funny?
