I avoid direct Q references, but still sneak in some Q-related themes to the lyrics, as well as the direct words of three carefully selected Presidents that people largely revere...
You guys are awesome and seeing this thread kind of made my day!

Still in the pre-planning/ writing stage. I unfortunately have a Steely Dan complex and am quite the perfectionist.
