	Kooyeen  +  952812 Sun, 25 Oct 09 08:29 PM My comments: #1: It's not "If you didn't want...", but I hear "He didn't want be second..." The odd thing is that I couldn't detect any "to" after "want". #2: "Cause he's prolly one of most complex people I ever met" Where "prolly" means "probably". I am not sure if it is just a common alternate pronunciation, if it's dialectal, or if it's a different contracted word which has the same meaning anyway. I just know that I've heard it and seen it (written) before. I don't know why the article "the" is missing in front of "most complex people" though.

	Kooyeen  +  952849 Sun, 25 Oct 09 09:26 PM It's probably exaggerated only on my computer, but all the clips here that I play on the embedded players have a very low volume compared to the ones I downloaded. These last two have a particularly low volume, so I can hardly understand anything. Only some words... ...as America itself finished... in the decades following the second world war...
