Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Good one, Betsy!

MuchMusic up here (our MTV) is terribly snarky about Alannah Myles, but I think (hope) that's a familiarity breeds contempt kinda thing, since she got a ton of airplay back in the Black Velvet days (as CanCon).
Did you know that Christopher Ward, one of the early MM veejays co-wrote most of her music for quite a while. I think he had his own pop hit in the 70's which I'm sure Hec would recognize, if I could remember it.
However nothing blows my mind like seeing JD Roberts do serious news on CBS.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
"Black Velvet" always makes me think of karaoke singers who think they're teh hotness, best singers evah!!!
Because every girl I've ever seen get up to sing that song is full of cocky smugness. Like, "Yeah, man. I am teh sex. Even with my mall hair and/or belly-baring top."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
AMG just told me about this. I plan on having it soon, but if you want a warmup to the F2F, you might take a gander.

I can't even.

Yeah, Christopher Ward was a big part of the early spirit of Much. As the long-standing host of Fromage, he brought a lot of really stinky videos to our attention.
[Warner] released his debut 'Spark Of Desire' in 1978 which spawned the commercial radio hit "Maybe Your Heart". He also wrote the Cover Girls song "The Boy Next Door". In 1981 he signed with Edmonton-based House Of Lords Records who released his sophomore effort called, fittingly, 'Time Stands Still' which was produced by Jack Richardson (Guess Who).
When MuchMusic launched its 24 hour video network (originally 8 hours repeated 3 times) Ward was recruited as one of the first on-air VeeJays who, between airing videos and interviewing rock stars would concoct ridiculous on-air skits utilizing many 'characters' in skit fashion and often accompanied by a rogues gallery of performers. One of these performers was his live-in girlfriend and aspiring vocalist Alannah Byles.
She changed her name to Myles and did a backing vocals spot with Sheree Jeacocke and Shawne Jackson-Troiano on his Attic Records EP called 'Christopher Ward' in 1987.
Their teaming would be fruitful as Myles landed a record deal with Atlantic. Ward co-wrote her entire debut album with Myles and David Tyson which spawned the hits "Love Is" and the multi-million selling "Black Velvet" in 1989 and 1990. The song would also have an after life on country charts as a No.1 for Tanya Tucker.
I didn't know that about Chris and Alannah. Oh, the backstage shenanigans at Much.

I knew she was sleeping with one of her co-writers. I jsut wasn't sure if it was Ward.

We don't say "live-in girlfriend" any more, do we? Just "girlfriend", and it's pretty much assumed you're having sex, but where is entirely your own concern.
Otherwise, there'd be "bonk-on-the-back-stairs girlfriend."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My jackass boss repeatedly referred to his "live-in girlfriend." Even better, his "pregnant live-in girlfriend." Even BETTER, she was a senior staff member, too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I suppose it's a step up from "the godless tramp I'm shacking up with".
