  1. Not a one hit wonder (try multi hit wonder!)

    Things We Said Today - The Beatles

    Your part seems to be played by Diana Rigg in this video :).

    Oh, I kinda like the idea of Diana Rigg playin' my part... :wink:

    That song by The Who was new to me too. I only know one other song with a variation of "MaryAnne" for the title, and I would post the link but HNet is now allowing me to do so in this post for some reason. I mean, really c'mon HNet (C'mon, Marianne... LOL)

  2. Somewhere amongst the 168,000 posts in this forum is a birthday thread for Val. I'm sure of it. But alas! I cannot find it, so I'm starting a new one. :)

    I know we don't see much of you now, Val, but you're still thought of. Hope you have a great day!

    How 'bout some chocolate cheesecake to celebrate? :D

    Boy that looks good all nice and big and detailed like that.... YUM... Khee!

  3. Take heart, CD. I don't even know who the heck Willow Smith is. LOL

    Good music will always endure. Music produced today, only time will tell whether it's truly good or not. LOL

    Believe me, there's a lot of modern music that I just cannot stand to listen to. And with listening to it on the radio at work where they play the SAME songs over and over, day in and day out - makes me even less affable to most of it.

    There is modern stuff I like but I find most of it is the stuff that isn't played on the 'adult contemporary' format, or is currently burning up the charts. Like Hoss, I listen to a lot of different styles, genres and eras of music (which is why I enjoy taking part in the musical chairs thread LOL). From the 30s through today. Country, rock, blues, disco, swing.... the beat goes on. :)

    I could listen to 70's country music all day with Roger. And the Beatles? You bet. You're lookin' at the original weirdo girl who wore a Beatles t-shirt in jr. high when it wasn't cool to like the Beatles. (At the risk of dating myself, New Kids on the Block were the big screaming deal at the time. I hated them. LOL)

    So, I sympathize with you about modern music, CD. The good news is, there's lots of great music out there from now and yesteryear that finds its audience, folks like you and me and Hoss and Roger...and if your sister would rather listen to the latest boy band, well that's her loss. LOL.

    In fact, when I first saw this thread, I thought of this great ol' tune by Rush that I thought seemed fitting...

    Spirit of Radio - Rush

    All this machinery making modern music

    Can still be open hearted

    Not so coldly charted

    It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah

    Your honesty

    One likes to believe in the freedom of music

    But glittering prizes and endless compromises

    Shatter the illusion of integrity

    And speaking of skewed charts, it was recently noted that rapper Lil' Wayne has now had 109 songs in the Billboard Hot 100, beating out Elvis Presley. There's a great big huge astrisk on this tho' - most of the songs were not Lil' Wayne solo, he was a featured artist on somebody else's record.

    Therefore, I declare here and now that Elvis's record of 108 singles on the Hot 100 chart still stands. Lil' Wayne, please sit back down.
