I watched the movie, and I enjoyed. Thank you Warren, thank you a lot, my friend. I have yet to find time to go through the 'extras' if you will, but I enjoyed what I have seen/heard so far.
I am currently listening to Nina Gordon, and I love this song.
At Sonny's with my brother this afternoon, they were playing good music, in lieu of the rock and roll country they are usually playing. I like real country on some level, but these singers who are 'a little bit country. a little bit rock and roll' are nauseating. I enjoy Charlie Pride, David Allen Coe and the like. Anywho, my brother and I were eating and ELO came on, and he said 'Electric Light Orchestra, what a lovely tune to dine to.' (There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, although he likes ELO a lot, he doesnt normally talk like this, he was speaking pretentiously. I think it was the Sonny's atmosphere that was doing it to him) Mind you, he is 10. He recognized and commented all on his own. I asked him what music he hated and he said he didnt like Jazz too much. I said, 'What about rap? You like rap?' He said, 'I thought you said music. Some black guys with big egos talking fast about their cars and clothes is not music. John Lennon, that's music.' It was a beauitufl moment for me to witness. And now, I love him.

I find great joy listening to some well known classical music. I don't have the patience to sit thru a CD and find my favorite.
Right now I am listening to "Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg

They have "The best of..." in all music genres now. I've seen some Classical ones you could get. I'm too lazy to find you a link right now. Get to googlin'.
Wanna know what song is stuck in my head?
JEREMIAH WAS A BULLFROG! Duh nuh nuh. WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE!

Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea, Joy to you and Three Dog Night! (was it 'duh nuh nuh' or just 'duh nuh?' I oh, so hope I have not been leaving out a 'nuh' all this time in my singing of it)
I am currently listening to nothing. I am at home, and by home, I mean not mine.
I enjoy corny things like 'Flute by the Sea' (as you all know, I am a Little Mermaid floutist. WHAT? You havent been paying attention and DONT know that? Fuck you.) and I enjoy a little something called Champagne and Roses. It is a CD of Carole King songs, but they are all wordless, it is just the instrumental version. I sex it.

Three Dog Night. Yessum. Crazy Love - Bob Dylan and Van Morrison...it is full of beauty! I love listening to that for one reason. Dylan has no idea and cares not how the song goes. Dylan don't give fuck. |

ah, I noticed that as well. he kind of just jumps in there on Morrison's lead. It's a nice kind of melodic mumbling. He sings the chorus strong though. Perhaps thats all he learned and thought he'd just figure the rest out as he went along. Either way, I find it to be a nice collabo.

If you don't listen to Genesis, you don't listen to me.
Is there a better 4:46 than Land of Confusion?

If you don't listen to Genesis, you don't listen to me. Is there a better 4:46 than Land of Confusion? YES! PUPPETS! YES! no there is no better 4:46. I think they should play it at Reagan's funeral. |

Is it wrong that the Land of Confusion video was the first thing I thought of when I heard he'd died?

Is it wrong that the Land of Confusion video was the first thing I thought of when I heard he'd died? no, it aint wrong. first thing I thought of was that skit that Phil Hartman did on SNL where he was greeting Girl Scouts and playing dumb with the press, then as soon as they left he goes "back to work!" pulls out a map, starts mapping out a money laundering plan, and speaking Arabic on the phone. fucking priceless. am I the only one who thinks he wasn't as great a President as everyone is saying now, and that he doesn't deserve a coin or his face on Rushmore? I mean, people may be remembering his whole chumminess with Gorbachev, but as I recall, it wasn't Reagan who brought down Communism himself, there were a lot more internal factors in the country than our pressure. I more vividly remember a little something called an arms-for-hostages deal, and the rich getting richer. Gordon Gekko comes to mind. a Rushmore face? not in my book. also very ironic that Bush is comparing himself to Reagan now, and espousing how much he's learned from Reagan. I highly doubt it, considering Reagan forged relationships with Europe. even with our Cold War enemies, and Bush is all about pushing everyone away and being an asshole. that's a pretty big difference leadership-wise. maybe it's just the liberal in me, but I thought Jimmy Carter was severely underrated. The truth is, the man should have never been President. the CEO of a human rights organization or non-profit, definitely, but not President. He was just too moral for it. That job ate him alive. |

my other "first' thought when I heard about the Reagan funeral was, oh shit, it's gonna go right by my office, and traffic is gonna be a bitch. is that selfish?

I like cheesy Disney-movie songs and soundtracks. I would never admit to this in my real life, only to my e-friends. I like Lion King songs, I like the 'A Goofy Movie' soundtrack, I enjoy The Little Mermaid music more than I can express with words. I dont know what happens to me. I lose all sense of what is right and just start singing away. but, not if I am alone and without music accompaniment.
