I truly doubt if the country/western singer would have been in Mission
of Burma or Birdsongs of the Mesozoic.  And one might suspect that this
Roger Miller from Birdsongs covered (though the term in used loosely
since it bore little resemblance to the original) a song by the other
Roger Miller because of a slight similarity in their names.

So, I go and post something that isn't "boring and repetative and
redundant" for a change, and this is the thanks I get.

Just because you don't like me, doesn't make what I said untrue.  But
perhaps you wouldn't like Roger Miller's music, since it probably isn't
what you would call "beautiful".
