Saw Steve Earle a few years ago. There was a kid, maybe 13, there with his dad, loving the whole show. After the main set, the lead guitarist chucked a pick into the crowd and I snagged it. But I figured this kid would like it more so I gave it to him. He was really thankful.

Then, after the encore, Steve removed his arm band and pointed to this same kid. A handful of adults stood poised to grab it, but Steve stared them all down and said, “Don’t you dare.” He gave the kid the arm band and the kid gave me back the pick. It was nice.

Like I said, we don't have anything to talk about. I know I'm not going to change your mine, so I won't try to. I can tell you I did not own a single one of the albums or singles on this list, but I am not going to deny the catchiness of No Scrubs, Kiss Me, Livin la Vida Loca, Every Morning or Believe. Straight up hooks. You may not LIKE the music or songs, but to unequivocally say they're trash is just wrong.

I saw Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary) at a folk festival back in 2014. The local high school chorus was there to sing backup on "Light One Candle." They'd rehearsed the song, knew the words, and were ready to go...standing behind a curtain so he could introduce them when he started the song.

Right before the curtain went up, he said "but what they don't know, is that they're going to come down here and join us all to sing Puff." As in Puff the Magic Dragon, perhaps his best known song. Before the show, I was talking to the kids backstage, and they really didn't know who he was. So I said "you know the song Puff the Magic Dragon?" They all nodded. "That's the guy."

So the curtain goes up, they sing Light One Candle, and the kids gather around Pete to sing Puff. Just after the first chorus, he stops and points to a student at the back...

"She's reading the lyrics from her iPad!" Because she was.

He summoned her down to the mic and said "we're going to sing the next verse together." So this girl (with her iPad) got to sing a verse of one of the most famous songs in the world with the original artist. She did great.

Nah, it couldn't pe representet as a structural part of the song, it's only a one time 'event', a small occurance, maybe even only a word that stands out from the normal flow of the song that only appears once, it's more of a music production term, it may be more frequently found in actual beat production, maybe that context will help
