@TiarasOceanView - It snowed for awhile last night. It didn't stick, other than on a couple of cars.

Here I thought this was going to be the Will Smith version. I make bad jokes.
Cool song and does have the western feel.

I totally forgot about that song. It's a good song, but still wouldn't have made the cut.

Joe rules. I've never heard anything by him that I haven't liked.

Joe Jackson is one of the magical 80s names.
