  1. I have nothing against the oldies but goodies, I just don’t listen to too many of them these days unless they’re on the radio.

    I know that song! I liked them. I’ve been listening to David Byrne’s new record with Brian Eno. I like some of those songs – like this one.

    LIFE IS LONG

    Ev’rybody says that the living is easy
    I can barely see ‘cause my head’s in the way
    Tigers walk behind me- they are to remind me that
    I’m lost- but I’m not afraid

    Soul to soul- A kiss and a sigh
    Sawed in half- by the passage of time
    Halfway home- from a window you see
    Chains and bars- but I am still free

    People on the outside- I remember sweet times
    This old rose- is always in bloom
    Ev’ryone is happy- to be a baby daddy
    Stone love- with nothing to lose

    Life is long- if you give it way
    So stay, don’t go- ‘cause I’m fading away
    Soul to soul- between you and me
    Chain me down- but I am still free

    Now I can say- those three little words
    And ev’ry day- I’m dreaming a world
    Soul to soul- a kiss and a sigh
    Holding back- the waters outside.

    Life is long- if you give it way
    So stay, don’t go- ‘cause I’m fading away
    Soul to soul- between you and me
    Chain me down- but I am still free

  2. “do most of you guys take anti- anxiety pills when you feel stressed/anxious?”

    I was with some travel writer friends in Cairo once when we found out you could buy valium over-the-counter. Being writers, artificial stimulants were de riguer, and we bought about as much as we could afford! They were cool, but really I don’t remember any particularly lasting impact.

  3. LOL, Cobble. I am indeed an old soul, but, yes, I do like newer music as well…

    How about some Oasis?

    “Today is gonna be the day
    That they’re gonna throw it back to you
    By now you should’ve somehow
    Realized what you gotta do
    I don’t believe that anybody
    Feels the way I do about you now

    Backbeat the word was on the street
    That the fire in your heart is out
    I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
    But you never really had a doubt
    I don’t believe that anybody feels
    The way I do about you now

    And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
    And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
    There are many things that I would
    Like to say to you
    I don’t know how

    Because maybe
    You’re gonna be the one who saves me ?
    And after all
    You’re my wonderwall”

  4. “You see he stand bout six foot four
    All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
    All the mens just call him sir”

    This cracks me up, BH gets a lot of that, he’s 6’5″, and not easily intimidated.

    Do you like anything recorded, say, after 1990?

  5. What is CBT denton?

    “nasty side effects, one of which is a propensity to experience the symptoms for which the drug was prescribed, times ten.”

    Really, I did not know this. Now you’ve got my attention.

  6. But Biff, I love Dan Fogelberg (may he rest in peace!). When I first got a cd player my first cd purchase was his double cd “The Innocent Age.” I’ve damn near worn that thing out! Thank God for digital copies!
