For nigh on twenty years, this question rattled around MamaKitt’s brain: “Who is the first guy in the duo ‘Chem and Mao’? And why would I be carrying a picture of him?”

Seriously. I didn’t figure it out until probably five years ago. Now I feel the tiniest (and very undeserved) hint of pride when I hear the lyric correctly.

That is all I have for today. I hereby decree next week Mad Gabs Grab Bag Gab Week (MGGBG Week), in which each of us must pluck a song from our daily commute for the other to weigh in on. It doesn’t have to have special meaning or make us think of the other person. We’ll just see what comes up! Ooh the intrigue!
