Someone referred to Dan Bern as the Bob Dylan of the skateboard generation. I like that, it makes sense. I got this disc in the mail on April 8th. It was the day before the first round of the Masters. What does this have to do with anything you ask? Well the disc does begin with a song called "Tiger Woods." After watching the Masters that weekend I was wondering if Dan Bern wishes he could change the name of the song to "Mark O’Meara." But I guess when you think about it "Tiger Woods" probably has a little more charisma to it.

There’s a touching song on the disc called "Oh Sister." Bob Dylan sang a song called "Oh Sister" too. However Dan Bern’s version is really about his sister whereas Bob Dylan’s version was about Joan Baez. And this gives me a lame segue into another Bern song called "Chick Singers." There are about eighteen chick singers that Bern mentions in this humorous song. Joan Baez however is not one of them.

Bern has his own theory of evolution on a song called "No Missing Link." His theory is something along the lines of E. T. mating with Cheetah. He doesn’t quite say it like that though. Trust me when I tell you that you’ll want to turn this one down when grandma’s in the room! "Different Worlds" is perhaps the most interesting song on the disc. It’s a comparison between blacks and whites that’s smartly written and thought provoking without being offensive to anyone. Dan Bern can be offensive when he wants to, just not in this song.

There’s a sad little song called "Monica" written about the tennis player Monica Seles. Bern remembers her being so alive and full of laughter. That of course was before some sicko stabbed her in the back. She’s never really been the same since. It would be nice to see her come back and kick Martina Hingis’ ass but that’s probably wishful thinking.

There are twelve songs listed on the disc with the lyrics
