Calm down Pudding. It's only Bart. Save your energy for having a go at me.

Actually, it is pretty cool to have a six year old reading Jim's magical words.

If he doesn't get the not finding a Cadillac at the bottom of a Cracker Jacks box, then you should explain it to him.

In my opinion, that might be Jim's greatest lyric line of all time.

I got that because I used to live in Canada and they sold Cracker Jacks there. Looking for the toy at the bottom of the box was great fun. I think that the way Jim used that for his lyrics is proof of his genius.

Do they sell Cracker Jacks in Australia or New Zealand (which one are you)? I wonder if UK Bat fans get that line. I can't remember seeing Cracker Jacks in the UK.

I'm glad that your son has great taste as far as album cover art goes. When I first bought Bat, back in the late seventies, I was really pleased with the package. I already knew and loved about four songs but the cover made it even more of an exciting purchase.

I miss the days of big vinyl albums.

According to the BOOH sheet music book I recently purchased, the album cover concept was by Jim, with an artist helping him to realise his vision.

I hope your son grows up to be an even bigger Steinmaniac than you are.
