The inside of the cap on the bottle of Mountain Dew I bought yesterday tells me I've won a free song at iTunes.

I wanted to get a particular Paul McCartney song as my prize, but alas, they have no Paul McCartney songs at iTunes. Then I thought I'd get a particular song from Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks album. But they had no songs from that album either. Call me an old fogey, but I couldn't find any songs that I really wanted at iTunes at all. I don't want to waste my free song prize on just anything.

So I thought I would rely on the judgement of people who barely know me instead and make a contest out of it. To help you with your selection, I will tell you that I already have all the Pink Floyd CDs and don't need any more Simon and Garfunkle. No country or rap, please.

Oh...the person who suggests the song I download will win the contest. There is no prize, but they will have won nonetheless.

You know, I was thinking of that very song. But guess what? They don't have it. Sorry, they have to have it for you to win.

"Back in Black" was the only AC DC album I ever owned. Many years ago. I have no desire to re-visit it.

I already have "Stop Making Sense" on CD.

They have a song called "Black Pearl" by someone called "The Black Label Society", but none by Sonny Charles & the Checkmates. They didn't have anything by him, actually.

That must mean I am old-fogeyer than you are. Black Pearl was probably recorded by Sonny Charles along about 1966.
