(Yeah, we know you’re busy doing God’s work, Boss. That’s why you keep us ankle biters around, on short leashes, right?). “List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions your site along with your seven (for those of you who, like me can't... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html Fri, 22 Sep 2006 03:48:54 -0600 Actually, Ry, I liked Pink Floyd, Iron Butterfly, ELP, and a whole lotta other stuff. All they really have to do is... "Shut up and sing" When they decide to get all social consciencey and I can't detach them from their oft-times silly politics, *then* I lose interest. Music itself affects my brain like most people - I like the pretty noises and structures. If the words are so stupid as to threaten making my head explode, well, I learned long ago how volume, fast-forward, and mute work. And now, I just load up the songs I want. Janis Ian, Sara Maclachlan, Enya, the Corrs, pretty voices singing pretty songs. Shoot, John Phillip's "San Francisco" is a pretty song. And I love "Alice's Restaurant" - probably for all the wrong reasons... simply because it's - funny. Hell, Ry, I like ABBA. Not because it's great music, but because it just tickles the right parts of my brain. I liked early Madonna, before it became all about her reproductive organs. My favorite album of hers is the one she did after Penn dumped her. But I like the early stuff, too. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html#comment-50915 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html#comment-50915 Wed, 27 Sep 2006 05:36:29 -0600 Oops. I thought you did that while you were still between 18 and 24 wearing the 'Staff' windbreaker before you went off to be a big bad Armorer and walked a beat with a badge? I've got the chronology wrong? Opps. My bad. No attempted shenanigans, this time. My point? Oh, like *your* musical tastes really got you out to see these people as opposed to doing it for work? Sure.;) Like I really enjoy tea and looking at scribbles on a paper hanging on a wall instead of just going to prevent being banished to the couch. nope, wouldn't know anything about freaking out potheads, but I'm sure it feels good.:) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html#comment-50910 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html#comment-50910 Wed, 27 Sep 2006 00:36:05 -0600 Cop! Jeez, Cop! Not a security guard. Geez! What's yer point? D'you know how much fun it is to send a whole section of doped-up potheads down the stairs thinking they're headed into the paddywagons? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html#comment-50904 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html#comment-50904 Tue, 26 Sep 2006 21:43:26 -0600 True, but then you worked as a security guard in college(if I remember the story correctly). Not sure it means you didn't just see them while you were supposed to be patroling. Pass on EJ, and JA(airplane. Never liked them, and liked them less when they changed their name to the various starship forms.), and Blondie. Heart (Barracuda) and Benatar(Love is a battlefield) I can still listen to. And how the hell am I supposed to get the waffling outta me body and clothes? Jeez. Jess is going to be pissed.

Harry. He told stories. Great ones. Funny ones. Silly ones. I even saw him in concert. I also saw, gee, Elton John, Jefferson Starship, the Beach Boys, Heart, Pat Benatar, Blondie... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html#comment-50891 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/09/killing_the_music_meme.html#comment-50891 Tue, 26 Sep 2006 17:45:17 -0600 For a guy who never did pot you sure like some psychodelical music.

There's a word up there! But I don't see an airplane... and why would anyone fly a banner that said, "Vibram"? Wait - izzit getting closer?

I copied those from Cassies site, who copied them from somewhere else.(I can't believe we're going over the taxonomy of digits.
