When I vote I don't look to see how the voteing had been going up to that point. But after casting my vote for Fins I guess I was surprised to see it actually held a lead over Come Monday.

Looks like this one may come down to the wire!
Salt air it ain't thin,
It can stick right to your skin,
And make you feel fine.
It makes you feel fine.

Toughest vote yet....2 of the 4 SYKBH that I would put in my top 10. Come Monday will always be a classic....but it is tough to imagine a concert without Fins. I was going to call it a tie...but Fins is my 5 year olds favorite song. "Fins Up Daddy!" This votes for him!

Its the opposite for me. I gotta be in the right state of mind for Come Monday. Fins? Not so much.

I think out of the SJPTD, Fins, Margaritaville, and OPH are the only ones that if he didn't play them on a tour stop, I would be truly disappointed. And I don't mean small gig like Aspen. I'm talking like if he didn't play these songs at Jones Beach, Great Woods, Alpine, Tinley Park, Camden, etc. If he skipped Come Monday, Volcano, or even Pirate or CILICA, I would be sure as hell surprised, but not overly upset.

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar
