Has anyone mentioned Manfred Mann's cover of Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light"?

It always sounded to me like (pardon the vulgarity):

"Wrapped up like a douche
Another rubber in the night."

Which didn't make sense, but that's what I heard. It's actually:

"Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night."

I heard this too! I always wondered what the hell I didn't get with that.

I thought it was
Wrapped up like a douche
Another runner in the night.

Which actually made sense...but maybe because of the people I hung out with.

Here's an insight into our family that you didn't ask for and undoubtedly don't want.

Between blood and in-laws, there was a mini-debate. Is caramel pronounced "car-mel" or "care-a-mel"?

It could not be resolved. I stepped in with a solution. "Of course, it's ca-RAM-el."

We say "ca-RAM-el" to this day. At least, when no one else is around.
There are worse things for a family to argue about. Personally I always said Care a mel.

My daughter Addie was singing along with the song "Love Shack" and instead of "So hurry up and bring your juke box money" she sang "Hurry up and bring your juice box money!"

In the new Eminem song "The Monster", I tought the lyric was "You think I'm crazy, and that's not fair" but I found out the lyric is actually "You think I'm crazy, well that's nothing."
