If you listen to Lost Keys first and actually pay attention to everything that is said, then crank up Rosseta Stone and catch as much as you can too. When I put the whole story together when I was finally able to hear the album loud enough to make out Lost Keys and the very start of Rosetta Stoned I cracked a big ole smile. :D

I think most people caught this connection by their second listen.

Yes, I always listen to Lost Keys first. And by the way, that song was written for me.

I could never make out what was said in lost keys until I was able to hear the album with some headphones completely undistracted. There are a lot of subtle things throughout the album which really stand out when you get it blaring loud.

Rosetta stoned does indeed kick about 4 times the amount of ass it'd normally kick on it's own...with Lost Keys in front...

Wow. That was a completely unnecessarily complex and confusing statement. Anyway,

me too, i actually chuckled when maynard (i assumed at the time) went.. 'okay, i'll tell you' or something to that effect, then it went into his chaotic rant.. I wish i wrote down word for word what i heard when high, because im ironically enough not able to hear it all that well sober.. I did hear something about someone (maynard) having an epiphany and writing it down for later. Funny stuff if you've ever been stoned out of your mind, or on lsd or something.


If you guys want, i'll get really baked and decipher the whole song for you..

I'm sure that whatever you write down would be nothing short of genious.
