Unfortunately, there are no fish conservation songs. And even though Linda
Ronstadt had a nicer voice than Joni Mitchell did, she didn't sing any
conservation songs.

Linda looked really good in a short skirt, too, until she caught middle-age
bloat, like a lot of us, and began singing opera and what not. Time can be
cruel.
