While reading about Brian Wilson I encountered several references to him being obsessed with a song called "Shortnin Bread" which I didn't know. I asked my dad (87) that evening and he burst into song without hesitation. Unfortunately, now that I am familiar with the song I can't get rid of it.

Reminded by recent events how thankful I should be that I don't have a job where I am required (or even encouraged) to take phone calls while on the shitter.
