Love is...
If I ever hit my head and wonder who is this woman in my bed and why am I marrying her then I should reread this. It's an email she sent me yesterday. (She's an editor at a local publisher.)
Just had to share that in the new book I'm getting, which is a multicultural reader (essays from and about difficult cultures), in the section called "Comparison and Contrast" the authors have included an essay called "Puritans and Parrotheads: A Columnist Compares the Concerts and Fans of Bruce Springstreen and Jimmy Buffett." !!! Shouldn't this be in the "similarities" section ("A Columnist Compares the Fans of Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffett and Concludes That They're Pretty Similar After All: Both Like Crappy Music")?
It should be noted that I once made a mix CD (a mix CD!) for her called No More Springsteen which basically compiled some songs from the sixties and seventies that I will play when I win the lottery and take over WZLX, Boston's sucky classic-rock station. They currently have about twenty songs in rotation and you've heard them all a million times, only the dregs who listen don't care and want to hear "Sweet Home Alabama" again even though they likely own it on five different albums.
I didn't put this one on her CD (she wouldn't have it) but the first song of my WZLX Reign of What-Took-Us-So-Long will be "Sister Ray." That should sift away the dead weight. Song number two? "Sister Ray," the live bootleg version! Shit yeah!

Here's hoping satelite radio picks up WZLX once you're in charge! Chi. radio sux ass...
You're a lucky man where A. is concerned. This friend of mine hated The Stooges. I made him a "mix CD" which was actually "L.A. Blues" repeated 16 times. I labeled it "The Monkees's Greatest Hits." He didn't think it was funny.
That is even better than an idea I had of filling a CD with "Sister Ray" and giving it as a gag gift in Christmas in July at work. Instead A. took a picture of my hand giving a thumbs up while wearing a red, white and blue wristband.
