Barbra Streisand, THE WAY WE WERE
MEM’RIES light the corners of my mind Misty water-colored MEMORIES of the way we were Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were Can it be that it was all so simple then Or has time re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me, would we? Could we? MEM’RIES may be beautiful and yet What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget So it's the laughter we will remember Whenever we remember the way we were The way we were |

J. Geils Band, CENTERFOLD
Does she walk? Does she talk? Does she come complete? My homeroom homeroom angel Always pulled me from my seat She was pure like snowflakes No one could ever stain The MEMORY of my angel Could never cause me pain Years go by, I'm lookin' through a girly magazine And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between My blood runs cold My MEMORY has just been sold My angel is the centerfold (Angel is the centerfold) My blood runs cold (wooh) My MEMORY has just been sold (Angel is the centerfold) Slipped me notes under the desk While I was thinkin' about her dress I was shy, I turned away Before she caught my eye I was shakin' in my shoes Whenever she flashed those baby blues Something had a hold on me When angel passed close by Those soft, fuzzy sweaters Too magical to touch To see her in that negligйe Is really just too much My blood runs cold Yeah, my MEMORY has just been sold My angel is the centerfold (Angel is the centerfold) My blood runs cold My MEMORY has just been sold (oh yeah) (Angel is the centerfold) (Na, na, na...) Yeah, now listen It's okay, I understand This ain't no Never-Never Land I hope that when this issue's gone I'll see you when your clothes are on Take your car, yes we will We'll take your car and drive it We'll take it to a motel room And take 'em off in private A part of me has just been ripped The pages from my mind are stripped Oh no, I can't deny it Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it My blood runs cold My MEMORY has just been sold My angel is the centerfold (Angel is the centerfold) My blood runs cold (wooh) My MEMORY has just been sold (My angel is the centerfold) (Na, na, na...) Alright, alright 1, 2, 3, 4 (Na, na, na...) My blood runs cold My MEMORY has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold My blood runs cold, oh yeah My MEMORY has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold |

Do you think the “happy dances” are AI generated? Again, it’s sad that our children attempt to emulate the over paid, egotistical sports figures! |

It is SO SAD that our little one’s role models are of questionable character and often paid multi millions. Just my opinion.

R.E.M., LOSING MY RELIGION
Oh life, it's bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every WHISPER Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this, the hint of the century Consider this, the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream |
Broken down by different families? YIKES! I must admit that I am a bit envious of people with lBIG families. Yep, I grew up never having cousins ….. |
Thank you (and I do hope it will be a good day) because it was a day that did not go as planned, yesterday! |
I just woke up. |
If you ever wondered how many traffic cones does it take to stop a bullet, wonder no more……

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN
Eddie waited 'til he finished high school He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo He met a girl out there with a tattoo too The future was wide open They moved into a place they both could afford He found a night club he could work at the door She had a guitar and she taught him some chords The SKY was the limit Into the great wide open Under them SKIES of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue The papers said Ed always played from the heart He got an agent and a roadie named Bart They made a record and it went in the charts The SKY was the limit His leather jacket had chains that would jingle They both met movie stars, partied and mingled Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single" The future was wide open Into the great wide open Under them SKIES of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue Into the great wide open Under them SKIES of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue Into the great wide open Under them SKIES of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue Into the great wide open Under them SKIES of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue |

Toto, AFRICA
I hear the DRUMS echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in twelve-thirty flight Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say "Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside Frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had "Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had |
Elvis, JAILHOUSE ROCK
The warden threw a party in the county jail. The prison band was there and they began to wail. The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing. You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Spider Murphy played the TENOR SAXOPHONE, Little Joe was blowin' on the SLIDE TROMBONE. The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang, The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Number forty-seven said to number three: "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see. I sure would be delighted with your company, Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Sad Sack was a sittin' on a block of stone Way over in the corner weepin' all alone. The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square. If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake, No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break." Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix, I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock... |
