Jimmy Webb told a Glen Campbell story. I left before they were done; perhaps he told more. [link]
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

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.

It doesn't SAY the KKK.
But you tell me, in Texas, when people were being hung from oak trees by posses of men with horses, maybe they mean the Old West, but y'know, that's not what *I* think of.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I took it as the Old West. But, YTKLMV.

Yeah. I'm sure they MEANT the Old West. I just thought that lynchings and justice aren't really two things I want to equate. No matter the time period.

And CURSE YOU MEARA! Because of you, I've been earwormed with "I believe in a Thing Called Love" all morning
I'm now earwormed with:
You don't believe that this whole universe
Could be inside your little sister's purse
You don't believe you're just a living glob
Like Lucy, Freddie, Ricky. Frank and Bob
Thanks, Hec.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah. I'm sure they MEANT the Old West. I just thought that lynchings and justice aren't really two things I want to equate. No matter the time period.
Since I looked up lynching statistics not too long ago, I remember being surprised seeing that more whites than blacks had been lynched in Texas. Kind of a horse thief deal out thataway.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
One more time for the lame-o that is me. May I please have the link for the bookmarked liner notes? I promise to mark it for myself this time. Thank you!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Alicia, it's here.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I am a swoony fangirl right now because the Famous Musician that I recruited to write word notes for a project has just turned them in, and they are BRILLIANT. And funny. And poignant. And acerbic. And wide-ranging.
Yay!

They're here.
Thanks.
