Joe Offer If You See THis: You must have the same Steve Goodman CD I have, "No Big Surprise". You're right, I've played the ""Dead Girl" set to many friends, with the predictable, hilarious results. Funny how it started as a request for a COWBOY HAT, so he could sing "You Never Even Called Me By My Name", and since noone had a hat, someone gave him a motorcycle helmet, which led to ""Born To Be Wild", and thence, the dead girl songs. I saw Steve Goodman at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, about thirty feet away), a few years before he died. He made the same request for a cowboy hat, and someone threw him one that was probably five sizes too large, covering his eyes, and down past his ears. The he did the song "You Never..."I've considered petitioning the Legislature of the State of Illinois to rename the state, "The Land of Goodman", instead of the "Land of Lincoln". Do you think any Mudcatters would sign?
