I thought you were just encouraging us all to support Wikipedia!

If I wanted to do that, I’d put a nice photo and say “a personal appeal from Jimmy Wales.”

How can you forget Rubber Soul (“Run for Your Life”)?

Ooh, “Run for your life” is good. “Norwegian Wood” gives it a run for its money as the second best song on the album, but man, “In My Life” is on that album too.
