Ring Of Fire
America (Will solo acoustic) ... yes, tears were shed, mainly by me =P
Heartbreak Avenue (partial acoustic/band rejoins Will for final verse) ... woohoo
Not That Cool
All Night Long

encore:

Great Balls of Fire ... with the baby grand. GO JEFFERSON!! brian's guitar becoming unplugged ((haha)).

prettygirl by david ryan harris

girls, wish that they had your eyes
and boys, secretly fantasize
me, i am just mesmorized
by your every word and movement

you are, as close as a girl can be
to ideal, some how you disagree
the world sees perfection but all you see
is room for more improvement

silly girl pretty girl
if you dont see
what a spell your sweet love has cast on me
girl and i pray that never will this trance be broken

i melt, in your mouth when u talk to me
i wanna kiss you so slow and sweet
you are, the book that i want to read
in braille cover to cover

youre so deep inside
youre my DNA
youre how tall i am
youre how much i weigh
youre the reson someone had to pen the phrase
to know her is to love her

silly girl pretty girl
if you dont see
what a spell your sweet love has cast on me
girl and i pray that never will this trance be broken

everything you do is like a movie scene
every pose you strike is from some magazine
and i want to turn your pages

silly girl pretty girl
if you dont see
what a spell your sweet love has cast on me

silly girl pretty girl
if you dont see
what a spell your sweet love has cast on me
girl and i pray that never will this trance be broken

ASK DEAN UPDATE

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE? YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL A LOT ABOUT A PERSON BY THEIR FAVORITE MOVIES.

you know, you're right! my fave is "the wizard of oz," and i'm always being told i have no heart, no braing, or courage. and toto has always been my favorite artist. that dog plays the shit out of the drums in "rosanna"! plus, yellow is my favorite brick color, and i have a pet flying monkey. well, he kinda flies, i throw him out the window and he flaps his monkey arms ... oh yeah, and i once dated the wicked witch of the west! and, like dorothy, i'm always trying to get as far away from kansas as possible, "dust in the wind" sucks.

...from willhoge.com

haha, just felt like sharing ...
