Ken

I envy your weather, Officer. Been a while......

Woke up this morning and faced this.... I just don't know how much more grey I can take....

"The Busboys" From Eddie Murphy's Delirious show. From what I understand, Mr. T is still looking for Eddie....

"Mmmkay Drugs Are Bad. And If You Do Drugs You're Bad. 'Cause Drugs Are Bad. Mmmkay? Mmmkay!"

"Margaritaville" - Jimmy Buffett

These are what make Friday's beautiful. Thank you..

Today in Rock History, Florence Ballard (Supremes) passed away in 1976.

I was one of the crazies in attendance that night. Kiss - Deuce, Live at Tiger Stadium.... Good Lord it was the loudest concert I've ever been to...

Ahhhh, but you do wear L'Air du Temps....... But not today.... Where's Peachy when I need her....

The prisoner in the next cell, he said something to you, he.... hissed at you. What did he say?

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, (Isn't that right Precious?) Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Shawna, what do you mean by this? What is a sugar exfoliant and a speed test?

This is a beautiful performance of "What A Good Boy" by Canada's Barenaked Ladies Enjoy....

Reminds me of something some other barenaked ladies said.... "It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before" Hey, it is Songfacts, innit?

Short term pain, long term gain, Peachy. Knock 'em dead, keep at it. But leave the caffeine pills alone. For shizz and giggles I took 5 and washed 'em down with a Coke. I was wired like Cornholio on acid. Hope all is well with everyone...

Yeah, I was sitting in the stands proud for him but not looking forward to the whole 'away from home for 6 weeks this summer' thing....

My son made Master Corporal last night, I thought my parents would split they were so proud.... Ken.

"Love Stinks" - J. Geils Band....

*Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei I know I don't get there often enough But God knows I surely try It's a magic kind of medicine That no doctor could prescribe I used to rule my world from a pay phone Ships out on the sea But now times are rough And I got too much stuff Can't explain likes of me Chorus: But there's this one particular harbour So far but yet so near Where I see the days as they fade away And finally disappear But now I think about the good times Down in the Caribbean sunshine In my younger days I was so bad Laughin' about all the fun we had I seen enough to feel the world spin Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins Listen to the drummers and the night sounds Listen to the singers make the world go 'round (pan solo) *Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei Lakes below the mountain Flow into the sea Like oils applied to canvas They permeate through me And there's that one particular harbour Sheltered from the wind Where the children play on the shore each day And all are safe within Most mysterious calling harbour So far but yet so near I can see the day when my hair's full gray And I finally disappear *Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei Ia ora te natura (ua pau te maitai no te fenua) E mea arofa teie ao nei Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei Ia ora te natura (ua pau te maitai no te fenua) E mea arofa teie ao nei, hey now, hey now, hey now Ia ora te natura E mea arofa teie ao nei Ua pau te maitai no te fenua [bounty of the land is exhausted] Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie [but there?s still abundance in the sea] Ua pau te maitai no te fenua Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie *Language is Tahitian

That's the most intelligent thing I've read all week. Don't challenge the students, lower the standards!

I've loved Los Lobos since the mid-'80's. "Don't Worry Baby" or "Kiko and the Lavendar Moon" are both awesome.... Time to wake the neighbors... AC/DC - STIFF UPPER LIP!

I don't want this list to go by without the inclusion of Jacie DeShannon, of "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" fame. I'm not aware of a lot else she did, but that one song surely warrants an inclusion....

Pour Me Another Tequila, Sheila Bobby Bare Pour me another Tequila Sheila, Take off that red satin dress I crossed the border and I beat the dealer For all the damn gold in Juarez. I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila and I got the Pesos to spend So pour me another Tequilla Sheila And lay down n'love me again. I can't tell you about it But don't mind my gun by the bed I feel kind of naked without it And it eases the fear in my head. Just pass me the salt n'the lemon Then bend down n'blow out the light I never have trusted a woman But Sheila I trust you tonight. So you can pour me another Tequila, Sheila Take off that red satin dress I crossed the border and I beat the dealer For all the damn gold in Juarez. I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila I got Pesos to spend So pour me another Tequilla Sheila, And lay down n'love me again.. Sheila I'm hearin' your heartbeat But I'm hearing footsteps outside The courtyard is crawling with them Federales And Sheila there ain't no place to hide. Now, I don't know who could have tipped them 'Cause nobody knew it but you And I can't make love to a squealer, Sheiler so I guess there's just one thing to do. Pour me another Tequila Sheila. I'm gonna put on your red satin dress, you put on my clothes You go out and face the dealer And Sheila, I wish you the best. I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila I need a fast horse and a friend So pour me another Tequila Sheila And I'll ride towards the border again...

Bang on. George Carlin On Politics Consider yourself warned. Bad language, smack-on observations. Particularly around the 8 minute mark. Part 2 even moreso....
