Since I linked my Margaret Rey piece in Literary, I'll go ahead and belatedly link my valentine to Tammy Wynette here.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Hey Buffistas! You know what you haven't done yet today which will improve the quality of your day? Watch PJ Harvey's video for "Down by the Water."
See? You feel better already.
Ronnie James Dio is dead.
70s mix needs some ELO (Sweet Talking Woman maybe) and Elton John's Someone Saved My Life Tonight.
Ooh. I love BOTH of those.
I remember riding in a car with a friend's mother, in seventymumble, and punching the car radio buttons. Someone Saved My Life Tonight (Sugarbeaaaaar) was on every single station at the same time. Different points in the song, of course, but still.
The only other time I've ever had that happen was while Chuck Mangionie's Feel So Good was in its prime. Driving from SF to Santa Cruzon the day of my senior prom...every. single. radio. button.
"Feels So Good" is my personal example of a summer song--you could not escape that tune coming from every radio the summer of 1978.
and Elton John's Someone Saved My Life Tonight.
Bonus points if you can name the obscure British rock singer who saved Elton John's life that night.
A voice that will be sadly missed by metalheads everywhere!
A few years ago I took Kelly to an Iron Maiden concert. Ronnie James Dio was the opening act. Her first impression of him "he is a male, metal version of Christina Aguilara". Made me giggle, but I couldn't deny it either.
RIP Ronnie James.

I won't play, because I cheated, but it's an interesting story. Somehow, I wasn't surprised at all.
