Me: So why give Bama another chance to beat LSU after they blew it at home the first time?
MZ: Well, I've never been to England. But I've been to Oklahoma. They tell me I was born there.
Me: OK, but that doesn't explain--
MZ: Oh Alabama...banjos playing...and the skies are so blue.
Me: And why would you vote Stanford ahead of Oklahoma State if you're from there?
MZ: I heard Palo Alto means "Trust In Nick Saban." So, as I do every day, I followed his lead.
Me: Makes sense to you. Coupla quick questions about the rock hall of fame..
MZ: Shouldn't you capitalize Rock Hall Of Fame?
Me: No. Especially when you voted in Guns & Roses for basically one great album.
MZ: You didn't like The Spaghetti Incident? Who doesn't like pasta? Or Chuck Manson?
Me: You left out many more deserving artists & groups.
MZ: Name ten.
Me: Rush, Chicago, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Deep Purple, Yes, Moody Blues, Hall & Oates, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Todd Rundgren and Steve Miller for openers.
MZ: Rush is an oxycontin-poppin' pinhead. Time's up--gotta go find my Grammy ballot. Gabba gabba hey!
