Thanks OrangeTango. And likewise to you. If you have yet to stumble upon the Jerry search engine site I post below: it’s a great resource. Might not help with the Dew dilemma but certainly makes some of this stuff a touch easier

Sometimes it’s preferable to allow something to go unknown, to remain a mystery. I’ll share some advice from Ken Kesey: “The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer. They think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.”

seaplant11, I couldn’t agree with you more. Some of the posts on this site are hilarious. The way some users simply don’t realize how something like this works and what should be expected. It’s a website open to anyone to vote as they see fit. That alone should suffice as to reason why some versions languish at the bottom and others get to the top. The fact that any user can vote for more than one version of a song should make it crystal clear to users that there will be some anomalies. Sometimes what someone says and especially the way they say it speaks volumes. It’s obvious that the following quoted excerpt was written by someone with loads of healthy relationships and tremendous ability to sway others with well written, intelligent assertions based on diligent research. “Fuck yeah, Donna! (And fuck absolutely anyone who doesn’t get down with the DG! If you don’t like her, you should’ve confronted Jerry face-to-face back in the day, to tell him how much his musical choices for the band sucked. You wouldn’t have lasted a day inside the band/on tour, yet she fuckin’ owned it for years.” That’s a helluva lot of solid research from a good listener. Turns out, screaming and name calling is the little known final step in the scientific method.
