No Picture (DDD Bass Gu Rhythm Player	#1 by (DDD Bass Guitar/Backup Vocals) Jeff Fritts at Jan 22, 1971 at 9:15 PM EST

No Picture Anarchos Lead Player	#2 by Anarchos Olsson at Jan 16, 1974 at 12:53 AM EST
	The reference to Harry Lunte is from a trivia question that I asked Blake when he was playing with my son, Adam, in Jawbreaker. There was one major league ballplayer killed while playing a game by a pitched ball. Who was he? Who threw the pitch? and Who ran for the dead batter? Answer: Ray Chapman was killed by a pitch trown by Carl Mayes and Harry Lunte ran for the mortally wounded Chapman. The question demonstrates that the game/show goes on. I think that's Blake's thinking, bu, go figure. I told him who harry Lunte was and he used it in his own way. That's why he's Blake.

No Picture Steven Wanna Be	#3 by Steven Douglas at Jul 27, 1978 at 2:10 AM EST
	i agree about the movie. i saw it recently and i thought of this song. and here we sit. "catfish done hunting harry lundt" - does ANYONE get this even remotely? blake i love you.

No Picture Zach Wanna Be	#4 by Zach Pain at Nov 25, 1979 at 6:25 AM EST
	i think blake is referring to the classic movie 'chinatown'. it's a really boring movie but if memory serves me correct this one guy always thought the answer to his detective case lay in chinatown and in the end it did, hence "i'm right again and i'm chinatown". or maybe that's pretty wrong, i can never remember movies...

	i love the line /they tell me its blue thats why im blind/ believing something just because thats what its supposed to be or your told to be. living in a box somewhat with no room for new thoughts. that line sinks deep.

No Picture Layne Wanna Be	#11 by Layne Staley at Dec 4, 2002 at 5:31 PM EST
	it's definitely about the movie. blake has said it's his favorite movie before

No Picture SLIPKNOT FUCING Rhythm Player	#12 by SLIPKNOT FUCING RULES!!!! v at Nov 15, 2004 at 1:15 PM EST
	after some serious JTB and baseball nerdery, I have come to the conclusion that the Harry Lundt referred to in this song is really a misspelling of the name harry lunte. harry lunte was a baseball player in the 1920's. he was famous because when ray chapman was hit in the head during a game and killed, lunte was his replacement. as far as what blake means? i'm not sure.
