So the next album may be loosely based around innuendos of erectile dysfunction.

It will half be about Ed's erectile dysfunction, and half about Stone hitting for two cycles on the same day, one with a dude and one with a chick. You can obviously figure out which half will be better.

I can't speak to how this has been the rest of the tour, but this was killer at MSG, and the crowd was hugely into it. I was surprised by how much. It totally works as a second encore staple

FWIW, when they played this song at Philly 1 the other night the crowd was way into it and it sounded surprisingly good. Plus it packs a real powerful jam at the end.... One of the better moments of recent PJ shows.

This was really good live both times I saw it (I presume I'll see it again at Wrigley). It's an enjoyable song if I don't concentrate too hard on it -- lyrically it's all over the place.
