• ok, my theory~
  
  tB knows that they\'re gonna have to play the south. tB also knows that southerners are a little slower and like their music accordingly slower. they\'ve mentioned it before, and i can\'t argue. but, seeing as how they\'re touring more and will be touring even more, they can\'t just skip out on the south, as there\'s a ton of great music fans down here. so what did they do? they came up with a compromise. a southbound-feeling tune that allows them to excel as tB. its not a slower tune, its just a southern groove. i think this tune has the potential to stretch way the hell out then come back to that rollicking, happy groove. and southerners can\'t help but start to shuffle and bop to a good train groove. and that\'s what tricky ways is! so tB added a song for southerners to their repetoire and i, for one *LOVE* it!
  
  that\'s my theory and i\'m sticking to it.

• well, ronnie and tim and i had a brief discussion about how they\'re too fast and furious for southerners, and i agreed. not all, obviously, but when you have bands like panic and the truckers making headway, rapid-fire, cerebral jams obviously aren\'t what the majority is looking for. so you provide a vehicle to do your thing while still tapping into the sensibilities of the audience. plus, not just southerners like the train/southbound groove, so it\'ll play elsewhere, but will definitely be a gelling point in the south.

• Yeah and they brought back Love Lake because it is a perfect hippy dippy West Coast tune.
  Seeing as alot of these songs that are being busted out have been written in some form for a long time(epi3 was written years ago), I doubt they are looking to write songs that are specifically aimed @ a demographic.
   Tim is trying to "slow" down his playing in spots but Fast and Furious is what The Breakfast do.
  Nice theory though.

• yeah, that could be why they wrote it.  either way, i am glad \'cause it is awesome - totally different than the rest of their songs.  i love how they do that sometimes, just come up with something you don\'t expect like when they first wrote question mark in the mind.  i know some people probably don\'t like that song, but i like when they play out of character stuff sometimes to break things up a bit.

• It is a good song, and I love the fact that slowly but surely they are slowing it down in spots.  Future Peek RUL3Z!

• My theory is that this is the worst song in the Breakfast catalogue. In fact, hearing it in Cambridge made me sad. Then they played Wild Pack and I was very happy again.
  
  Perhaps they should only play this in the south then?
  
  Until I realized it was their own song I wondered what cover song it was. With any of the CLASSIC Breakfast songs or great new songs (Psygn, Good Things, Surreal Radio, etc) this never would have been thought for a second.
  
  My favorite band, my least favorite song... I\'d say stick it on the shelf and keep movin forward.

• oh I am. Stevies got like 12 licks and 1 tone and 1 style and zero soul
  
  I actually think Tim\'s a much better blues player. And I also don\'t consider what SRV plays to be real blues, because how much blues can you really have right after snarfing up an 8 ball of coke in one line??
  
  Eppy3 @ Iron Horse = better blues playin than I\'ve ever heard from SRV
  
  IMO as a Strat playin guitarist SRV is way over-rated. Second only to "slow hands" Clapton
