The Darlene Love is up at B'rawk courtesy of my friend Brian (message "re: belated happy birthday").
Thanks, Joe!!!
I plan to drive The Boy nuts by playing it on repeat all evening.
Although I don't want him to think I'm hinting, because -- no.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Stonehenge was 'giant concert venue'
A university professor who is an expert in sound and a part-time DJ believes Stonehenge was created as a dance arena for listening to "trance-style" music.
The monument has baffled archaeologists who have argued for decades over the stone circle's 5,000-year history but academic Rupert Till believes he has solved the riddle by suggesting it may have been used for ancient raves.
Mr Till, an expert in acoustics and music technology at Huddersfield University, West Yorks., believes the standing stones had the ideal acoustics to amplify a "repetitive trance rhythm".
The original Stonehenge probably had a "very pleasant, almost concert-like acoustic" that our ancestors slowly perfected over many generations
Okaaaay.....
Of course, other experts have stated:
In ancient times...
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people... the Druids
No one knows who they were or what they were doing
But their legacy remains
Hewn into the living rock... Of Stonehenge

Ann, that's a ferret.
For sap --
"Angel Eyes" by Jeff Healy
"The First Time" by Surface
"All the Man That I Need" by Whitney Houston
"Honey Come Back" by Glen Campbell
Just about anything by Bobby Vinton
Just about anything by Connie Francis
And I'd add, "Groovy Kind of Love" by Phil Collins, though whether that's from the song or memories I associate with it is another question.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sappy songs:
"Two Little Feet" by Greg Brown
"Ice Cream" by Sarah McLaughlin
"Take Me In Your Arms And Love Me" by Gladys Knight and the Pips
"Arrow" by Cheryl Wheeler (not a happy sappy song, but a post-heartbreak song--so wretchedly, sorrowfully great)
and for non-romantic-love sap, I love Judy Garland's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" -- lovely and aching and so deeply felt.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Gladys Knight and the Pips also did a sapful medley of "Try to Remember" (the kind of September...) and "The Way We Were."

Ha! I remember having a big debate about whether this was a sappy, romantic song or a cheesy come-on song.
