Someone bought the Brother's in Arms album, but I missed most of the popular music of that year.<br /><br />Ananda,<br /><br />It's kind of a haunting song. I definitely understand why it's like that for you.<br /><br />REl,<br /><br />Hey, mine too.<br /><br />DJ,<br /><br />I'll just tell you that it isn't the first time, now will it be the last time that FAlco gets a mention on my blog. Sorry. I suck.<br /><br />Nor,<br /><br />Thanks so much. That is definitely the beauty of music. It lets us indulge more than we normally would and it speaks that language very well.<br /><br />Susan,<br /><br />Which songs are those? I wonder if they're the same ones for me?<br /><br />AlienCG,<br /><br />Now I'm curious to know what country songs you like. I love the old-timey country music.<br /><br />Mn Mom,<br /><br />That song was so overplayed. It made me crazy. No wonder it made you feel worse.<br /><br />LauraB.,<br /><br />Exactly. I also get annoyed when musician are basically masturbating on stage. Get over yourself, pallee. I know we are.<br /><br />Poptart,<br /><br />Thank you. Apparently, it takes me years to process things though. Ugh.<br /><br />Ananda,<br /><br />Thank you so much. That's really nice to hear. It's nice that we can commiserate and celebrate together even though we don't REALLY know each other.<br /><br />Booda Baby,<br /><br />I do have a big ass, but I don't think I've ever been anyone's muse before. It could be fun.Churlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018288474865559384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-46351214660696671912009-05-28T19:10:26.164-05:002009-05-28T19:10:26.164-05:00What's up with all these amAZing posts?

They're great.<br /><br />A version of this I say to musicians allll the time, especially the guitarists who DO so love to show you how rapidly their fingers can do whatever they do over strings. Yah, yah and another yah. <br /><br />I'm going to print this out, stick a bunch of copies in A's tube amp repair shop/studio and INSIST they all read it. I hope they make you their Big Ass Muse.booda babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424036488795599663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-2960783430830613942009-05-28T18:53:09.107-05:002009-05-28T18:53:09.107-05:00Churlita, I hope you do not mind that I tell you t...Churlita, I hope you do not mind that I tell you that your posts have a powerful affect on my life. I feel understood and accepted... a true gift my good woman. It is nice to have a kindred spirit to share these things with... so thanks! It sure isn't easy to be single mom, but you brave it so well, it gives me hope and your music is mine as well. This is one place that I hope to never lose.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-17166701113656925922009-05-28T15:59:14.254-05:002009-05-28T15:59:14.254-05:00B-B-baby, I can't wait!

OK, from past posts, congrats on the cleaning (some of us don't have the driving 2 kids excuse and still fail to get stuff done...) and love the daisies and even though it's rough to think about your past jobs and life choices it's so nice to read how you are processing them.

Out of the blue, tunes will come into my head and if I listen to the words, I'm speaking to myself about what I"m feeling, or trying to make myself feel better. I really love that.NoRegretshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240929627271129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-35364281480601752062009-05-28T07:11:42.370-05:002009-05-28T07:11:42.370-05:00Oh my golly-can't believe Falco got a mention in t...Oh my golly-can't believe Falco got a mention in this post.

It takes me to the best time of my life and the worst time as well... neither of which happened at the time that song was popular. How's that for weird? I guess it's all in the power of lyrics.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-1895687878512240872009-05-28T01:24:07.338-05:002009-05-28T01:24:07.338-05:00Nu Shooz' "I Can't Wait" is one of my guilty pleas...Nu Shooz' "I Can't Wait" is one of my guilty pleasures and on my Itunes. <br /><br />It's funny how my kids love songs that I do. My son loves a bunch of sixties and seventies music, including the Stones and the Beatles and then little oddities like the Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein" and Iron Butterfly's "Inna Gadda Da Vida" (the <I>full</I> version, mind you). My stepdaughter loves the Kinks' "Well Respected Man", the Replacements' "Alex Chilton" and a bunch of Beatles. <br /><br />My version of those bad but now good memories are the songs that were on the soundtrack of a Bennigan's in downtown Chicago that I worked at when I got out of college in 1985. Songs that I didn't even pay much attention to because they were just background music to me at work as I struggled to start from scratch, because despite having suddenly acquired two college degrees, including a graduate degree, I had no idea where I was going and had to simply eke out a living, eventually became songs that grabbed me in my heart. Book Of Love's "You Make Me Feel So Good," Simply Red's "Holding Back The Years" and Double's "Captain of Her Heart" fall in this category.<br /><br />And hey-- "West End Girls?" I love that song. Another complicated memory, I guess.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.com
