"negative d" and "-d." is david a. piniella, who speaks for himself.

"Find myself singing the same songs every day/Ones that make me feel good

when things behind a smile ain't OK." [Shannon Hoon/Blind Melon]

"But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice.

"Oh you can't help that," replied the Cat. "We're all mad here."

"There you go; stark raving sane."

[Guildenstern]
