I could be wrong, but I seem to remember he insured his hands/fingers because of the possibility of permanent injury. Anyway, good one! Had no idea Reid ended up in Nashville. John, you remember Mike Reid?

Thanks, Craig. The title/artist appears multiple times in that link of "songs with six words" in my "analysis" post and I must've read it a bunch of times with eyes glazed over from being tired and didn't make the connection, last night. I simply kept thinking, as I read through that list that "it's probably not one of these, but a singer who also is a co-writer."

Also, I was looking specifically for songs that were OBVIOUSLY about a crime! Whoops! If I had read Steve more closely, I would have realized that "inspired by a crime" did NOT necessarily mean that there was, in fact, a crime descibed in the song...

Oh...and btw...CONGRATS---you've solved the remainder of the puzzle!!
