Tangled up in blue... and I'm working on getting it.

note when that I read the words "ROCK BAND II" at the beginning of this post, I skipped over the list to read whatever was at the bottom, knowing that once Chris buys this, I'll grow to hate every single song on that list within a matter of days... hence my not even needing to look at it so I can enjoy the last few times I hear them without the obnoxious clicking and tapping... stupid plastic instruments...
