It's funny to think now...
...that there was ever a time when you couldn't look up song lyrics on the Internet. In 1996, before song lyric web sites were common, I remember John Mellencamp's "Just Another Day" coming on the radio at work. A co-worker and I tried to decipher the names of the song's recurring characters; it sounded to us as though Mellencamp was singing about "Brolidar and Big Jim Nahgahro." A few years later, we learned that their names are actually Bobie Doll and Big Jim Picato. It was good to confirm that. After all, it's only right to know the names of two generous souls who are "always there with their free advice."
