I LOVE Pat Benetar.

ION, we have a countywide referendum on the war:

"Shall the United States Government immediately begin an orderly and rapid withdrawal of all military personnel from Iraq, beginning with the National Guard and Reserves?"

Will this really do anything?

Also, if you live in Cook County, you can go to www.voterinfonet.com and see your ballot including blurbs on the candidates.

I played french horn too!!

cough syrup the major ingredient

dextrometh....blah blah blah - is used to get high when you overdose with it- I suspect takeing it too soon once isn't a problem - I believe it takes a bunch to get high

I've always had Bonnie Tyler's album with "Total Eclipse."

Faster Than the Speed of Night. Which I am totally going to listen to now.

I'll match my Unfashionable Musical Taste against anybody's. I have (on CD) Greatest Hits compilations from Air Supply, Barry Manilow, and the Pointer Sisters, the Carpenters (as well as 3 or 4 other albums), and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, as well as Paula Abdul's first two albums. Bought Milli Vanilli on cassette when it first came out.

Musically, I have no shame.

Did you play French Horn, too?

Yep. Jr. high through high-school. I showed some promise, but once I had a girlfriend I for some reason practiced it a lot less, so I ended up being 4th horn my Jr. and Sr. years.

My dad bought me the horn. I was the only one who owned his own. And I was the only one without a double horn, which made the high notes harder to hit. (I occasionally still have dreams where I have a solo part to play, and I mess up the high notes.)

I played french horn too!!

Huh. Cool.

We should form a Buffista high-school band....

Ooh - marching band uniforms with corsets!

Try playing that song back-to-back with Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All."

Yes, but there is something corrupt (so it says) and it will not unzip for me :(

I had to go to some other site and download a codec. I'd explain in more detail, but mostly, I shouted to Scott to come talk me through it, and we ended up having to download a new Windows Media player first, and then the codec, and then this morning, I had to go and get Scooby Road again, even though I'd gotten it last night.

Sassy had a special insert one issue with a very thin plastic square record of an REM song, I can't remember which one. But you could put it on top of a real record and it would play. I remember someone wrote in wishing that the magazine had included the lyrics.

I had really horrible taste in music and didn't know anything, I loved hair bands and Richard Marx and didn't know Pink Floyd was a band for the longest time. And I loved a-ha, I remember being such a dork and jumping up and down so excited when they won best video at the VMAs.
