I never really watched Peewee's Playhouse, but remember when Peewee's Big Adventure came out. I thought it was one of the funniest things ever back then. :)

[quote="THWOTH";p="2799468"]I was slightly disappointed.[/quote]If you're referring to Rodriguez's music, then I'm disappointed that you're disappointed. However, if you're referring to his death, I'm also disappointed.

Try listening to some other songs from his "Cold Facts" album.
