Not much I can add to this except that you must listen to “Green Girl” which I bet was written while looking at a Tretchikoff painting<\/a>, and “Don’t Trust”,\u00c2\u00a0oh, and “Carolina Drive-In” nearly gave me aheart attack laughing…\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
