Why make a banjo joke when the song in your thread title contains the lyric "the beer was empty and our tongues were tired"? Honestly, it would just be redundant.
My folks played a lot of Fogelberg while I was growing up, and although he wasn't my favorite by any means, I did always dig the hook in that song. Now that I'm older, and I've fUcked up a good thing or two, the song means what it was intended to, and it makes me want to kill myself for all the right reasons.
There's a special place in hell for Dan Fogelberg.
