Googling them they look more like a biscuit. Are they soft like a cake or crunchy?marjoram_blues wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2017 7:11 pmBlessed be.

Re: Come on baby, light my fire!
And that reveals the true evil nature of the J.C.
Legally, it's an untaxed cake. Illegally, it's a taxing biscuit.
Either way, you have to taste it to believe it. No matter what it's called.

Transcription from podcast:
13:04 “He climbed into his chair and began playing, “Light My Fire.” The current top forty version was performed by José Feliciano, a blind man whose plaintive voice served the lyric much better than Jim Morrison, who sang the song in what I considered to be a bossy and conceited tone of voice. There was José Feliciano, Jim Morrison, and then there was Mr. Mancini, who sang beautifully but sang Light My Fire as if he were a Webelo Scout searching for a match.”
