Hold On, I'm Cummings!

Burton Cummings is either rock's most unsung hero or its most overlooked fugitive pervert

Burton shows that when it comes to bagging a babe, it’s always better to pick paper over plastic.

But just as nations at peace realize they actually do need "war machines" and "ghetto scenes" to keep the economy going, America will continue to turn a blind eye to the insane antics of this singing hockey puck. And that's the real travesty. In an era in which chart-topping albums are conceived by committee, we need more straight shooters like Burton, one man who can look you in the eye and tell it exactly like it is: "You're no good for me, I'm no good for you, I'm gonna look you in the eye and tell you what I'm gonna do."

And then he sings, "You know I'm gonna lee-heave" for another five minutes.
