TUBOB: I Am A Sammichite

As I drove cross the state yesterday listening to my coolest travel tunes, I play the cool jazzy snaking and honking sax infused and piano banging 70s classic by Traffic “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” and reminisce of my first rock concert in 1974 at the Spokane Coliseum (Aerosmith and Styx) and standing on the floor with friends near the stage and the blue marijuanic haze was rising and on the PA system I hear The Low Spark and think what a cool song, man, and think who is that fox with the long hair standing over there? I digress. But here’s the thing, I’ve come to realize that that song may have the dumbest question ever posed in a rock song (feel free to one up or one down me on this): "If you had just a minute to breathe/And they granted you one final wish/Would you ask for something like another chance/Or something similar as this"/TUBOB. More here.


Question: What's the dumbest question you've ever heard posed in a song?
