Chocolate and Ice

[inertiatic_jpc]

I have a question about a track  on the Choc and Ice EP. I hope that this question has not beeen asked before and apologise if it has,  but:

Would someone please tell me who is speaking on the song  "its been a great 3 or 4 years". I'm guessing its Johnny or danny,  and if so... what exactly are they talking about?

some help thanks

I think it's Johnny - doesn't he say "it's your favourite cousin" or something like that?

That rant is funny the first couple o times you hear it,after that it is annoying. ;)

He says "your favorite cousin on the Quaid side of the family"

it is indeed a rant? He left of his own free will though, right? Or, eh, my MMJ history isn't quite perfect. What's he on about? It sounds pretty friendly to me.

That's my feeling, too, Eisey.  It was put out in 2002, so that's a fair amount of time before Johnny left the band.  There's probably a whole lot of inside information going on that we don't know about.

But I kind of dig it.

Anybody who knows John knows that he can stretch a voicemail or phone conversation on FOREVER like he does on this 'track'. It's pretty funny; he can't just hang up.

My deal is if I am grooving to that disc,I don't wanna hear that ramble in the middle of those beautiful tunes. So I just skip over it.Like I said,it was funny the first few times you hear it. ;)

[MMJ_fanatic]

yeah man I think their point was its just a goof--I blow it off too

[inertiatic_jpc]

thanks  , i should have paid more attention to the 'cousin' part

I'm really bad at speaking in voicemails. I'm like:
"Oh, hi, err... Yeah, I was, I was err, I called you because I wanted to ask about err... about tonight. You know, if you're still coming. So.... So yeah, are you still coming? Well, I don't know if you're gonna hear this in time, but if you do, could you call me to say if you're still coming and if you don't, I mean, if you don't hear this in time, well, then... Err... Ehm, maybe I'll try later. Yeah. Err... So, eh, bye."
