Yep.  It's really, REALLY excellent.  Al helps a TON.  Brian never 
considered himself to be a solo artist I don't think.  He writes for 
multiple voices and he NEEDS them to make 'it' work. No Pee Pee WO R K S 
large.
 
Still though...to give Mike a writing credit?  That's a bunch of money for 
every sale of the bonus/deluxe version.  Could keep Mike in groceries and 
wine for quite a few years.  I don't miss his voice here.  Or his 
influence.  TWGAWDMTR has some fine momnets on it t.  It also includes 
'that' which you mentioned and which Mike would have wanted included as 
formula material. 
 
I wonder what his solo album will be called?  'Grandpa Goes Cruisin' For 
Some Young Stuff'  [Volume 54]?
'500 Hats?.'  [Bartholomew Cubbins Was a 1/2 Miler]
'No That's Not Fat...It's EXPERIENCE'
'Duh Duh Duh...Duh Duh...Duh Duh Duh...Duh Duh'  [Plus Saxophone Favourites 
from the 60s]
'I'm Swedish...NOT Italian...As-a-whole.'
'I Still Have Range...[featuring Home On The Range and Other Songs I've 
added a word or two to...so...in fact...I wrote]'
'My Middle Name is Actually Richard...But Most Folks Call Me [a] Dick'
'Pinchin' My Nose'
 
Sorry...I Couldn't Help Myself.  [which could also work as a title.]
