<br />
"Unhappy, Unhappy: You have no complaint,<br />
Your wife's GGG and she plays with your taint<br />
So listen up buster and listen up good,<br />

      <![CDATA[Heard this song for the first time on the radio in LA during an airing of Austin City Limits. I happened to press record on the tape and captures some amazing John Prine, Rodney Crowell and others. Played the living shit out of that tape in my cross country travels. When I saw Dan's first post on Abby it was the first place I went. I still have that cassette... yet only one old fading cassette player left.
