Such a classic! RIP, Bob. The Blind Melons recorded a version of this song shortly before Shannon Hoon's death and it's incredibly sweet and joyful

@Phairhead: I believe Blind Melon's cover was on the Schoolhouse Rock CD that came out a ways back. Had it on cassette, then gave it away when I needed to clear space.

Loved Schoolhouse Rock!!

Thanks to it and Bob's musical genius I had backup for exam questions when I got stuck!

I know 94 is a good long run, and Bob did amazing things with it, but I'll miss him just the same! It's kind of like when you hope things will never change or go away. Because he was with us so long, it almost was.

Amen to that.
