Ride like the wind #2
February 7th, 2009
Hey folks,
Do you recall the yacht rock episode “rosanna” where a horny member of Toto attempts to convince Michael McDonald to help make a song so that he would attain root chakra(sp?) allignment? (To refresh your memory watch this)
If so, my posting of the video below will make some sense. Either way, enjoy it while it is still up.
