One minor suggestion, though, regarding Tim Augustyn's comments on the
bridge chords for "Funk Pop a Roll":

Tim wrote:

I think that's almost but not quite right.  Try playing a B7 on "feed"
and see if that doesn't sound a little more "correct."

Thus:
F7
They can fix you rabbits up
                  B7
With your musical feed
F7
They can fix you rabbits up
                  F7                 E7
Big money selling you stuff that you really do not need


Thanks and best regards,
Duane

John,
Incredible web site!

But a small suggestion on the tab for Funk-Pop-a-Roll -
Flip the E7 and F7 -
That is, F7 on 'It'll fix you rabbits up', and E7 on 'feed'.
Then F7 again and E7 on 'really do not need'.

Try it - it sounds better.

Keep up the great work!

Funk Pop a Roll

A
Funk pop a roll beats up my soul
Oozing like napalm from the speakers and grill
        D
Of your radio
                   E
Into the mouths of babes
                                   A
And across the backs of its willing slaves

Funk pop a roll consumes you whole
Gulping in your opium so copiously from a disco
Everything you eat is waste
But swallowing is easy when it has no taste

E7
They can fix you rabbits up
                  F7
With your musical feed
E7
They can fix you rabbits up
                  F7                 E7
Big money selling you stuff that you really do not need

Funk pop a roll for fish in shoals
Music by the yard for the children they keep
Like poseable dolls
The young to them are mistakes
Who only want bread but they're force-fed cake

Funk pop a roll the only goal
The music business is a hammer to keep
You pegs in your holes
But please don't listen to me
I've already been poisoned by this industry!

Funk pop a roll beats up my soul
