Sorry if its a dumb question, musicians - I've seen people post about Ed (or Mike?) calling out audibles. Does that mean prompting the others what to play during a song - like what Stone does in Don't Gimme No Lip on the Cleveland boot (sounds like he's singing a guitar part at Ed at one point)? No idea.

    I'm not into football so I don't get that reference. Not sure if I want to, based on the next post!

    Someone will probably have pity on me eventually and explain the term (in terms of MUSIC that is)!

    In football the Quarterback changes the play originally called in the huddle at the line as they are about to start the play...

    So this would equate to Ed changing from the set list to something else as they are about to start a song...
