In Ian's own words, a song about a dog crossing a busy street. He was in a good mood the day he wrote it, thank gourd.

Classic Ian religious commentary. Very poetic and evocative, with just a dash of cryptic. And some really fantastic music being played along with it.

Ian's been on the rock 'n' roll road for 21 years at this point. He's definitively middle-aged. He's got kids. Had a salmon farm. Does he regret it at all? Or is he just darn tired?
