It never occurred to me to define who John Goodman was. :) But yeah, I can see in the context of it now... sure, he's not known first and foremost for being a crossover crooner. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12941086.post-27525240283055410892012-08-29T07:42:55.190-05:002012-08-29T07:42:55.190-05:00So I'm thinking, "Who the heck is John Go...So I'm thinking, "Who the heck is John Goodman?"
