BC: Thank you, thank you. Everybody having a good time? Heh hahaha. In Chicago, a good time can mean a lot of different things so.... I don’t want to pontificate because when I pontificate I get in trouble. Heh heh heh, Chicago style. But I would like to say that I appreciate all the years, all the songs, all the fans, all the concerts. I don’t always do a good job of showing it but I do appreciate the love you’ve shown me, thank you. Now with that said, I’d like to dedicate this song to an old buddy of mine. He was probably the most talented people - oh, sorry. He was probably the most talented person I ever saw on a Chicago stage. Jim Ellison of Material Issue. So I’d like to dedicate this song to Jim and his family and Material Issue, thank you.
