Alright, well, I was going to go after that one next, anyway. IMO, what's left is probably the correct top four (though The Man of Sorrows has a real argument to be in there) and something that should have been gone several rounds ago. So.

Tears of a Clown

Tears of a Clown.
I'm surprised it came this far because IIRC it wasn't so well received when album was just released. I love it but it's time to go now.

My thoughts exactly. It's in my Top 5 from the album, and I'm glad to see it in Top 5 here, but yeah, other songs are better.

Bruce, about the song everyone (myself included) are voting:

"Steve wrote the song, or Steve wrote the words to the song, and so we were recording it. He didn't tell anybody what it was about, and I had no idea when I was singing the song that it was about Robin Williams. So I finished doing the tune, and I went up to him and I said, 'These words are really cool. What's the genesis of the tune?' And he said, 'Robin Williams.' And I went, 'Wow!' And it surprised the hell out of me, because it was so specific."

Another vote for Robin Williams, but the song is awesome. (Back from vacation, I can type again, from the smartphone it was too messy to do it  )

Tears of a Clown is out.. The rest of the songs are either in consolations or finals..

I think he means the polls in general.  I'm guessing 425 has other things in life going on.  The only thing I wish we had was a way to get a notification when it continues because I often miss out on the polls during the weekend or when it dies down because I forget to check back.

But the poll started only 4 days ago.. And that's the frequency 425 is setting since I can remember.. Besides, the other poll closed barely yesterday.. About the notifications I agree; Idk if there's a way to do that though.. But then agan, yep, life..

I'm really terribly sorry about this. I mean to do new polls everyday. However, things get very busy and difficult and I wind up missing multiple days. For example, the past few days I had to do an obscene amount of reading for class and then I had to study and take an exam.

I know that weekends are tough. I'll toss a three-day deadline on anything I start on Friday (or Saturday as necessary to keep the pace), how about that?

[Mladen]

Don't apologize, buddy, I thought you had just forgotten about this.
