    When he says "Didn't I,didn't I, didn't see you cryin,", they're all saying "Cryin, cryin,,cryin"

    There's an echo of that on the studio album, 'In Color...and in Black and White', and that's what they're doing, echoing what he sings.

    By the way, it's a very good album. I've owned it for many, many years, then replaced it on cd when I converted.

  15. Who is (or was) the worlds best guitarist?

    Erm,Johnny Marr was the guitarist for the band voted by British music press as the most influential band ever, The Smiths. In guitar magazines and guitar tv programmes, he is constantly bracketed in the top 10 guitarists of all time. To me, he is the best.

    Good to know. You learn something at Songfacts all the time.

    Actually, I was being facetious when I asked who he was. I was just messing with you a little.

  21. Worst band ever live.

    The Stones f***in' rule, man!!! You must have had a baaaad batch of crack when you saw them.

    :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

    :afro: :afro: :afro: :afro:

    I've never smoked crack. Nor have I ever done cocaine ,heroin, etc. I did, however, try pot when I was about 14 or so, maybe 3-4 times. Worst experience of my life.

    Besides, if you're going to see a concert, why would you want to alter your state of mind, anyway?

    And while the Stones are, indeed, an institution, I stand by my statement. They're horrible live. I've seen them twice, and dozens of times on tv, and they just sound awful live.

    Congratulations Catherine! :: Yesterday was our 2 and a half year anniversary (14/9/2004) ::

    I was woken by 100 red roses and 1 white one.... :googly: I was left speechless......guess I still am! ::

    Congrats!. Wow, 100 roses.

    "Let's see...I'll put a bunch on this table....some in the bed room.,,,uhh..some at work....and, ummm..maybe I'll just carry around the rest." LOL.

    Seriously, though,once they dry up, you can make some kind of smelly bag out of them. I forget exactly how my wife did it, but I know the bathroom smelled like roses for a while :thumbsup:

    To all the cynics, you can't be complete as a person unless you have loved somebody other than yourself.

    As far as unconditional love goes XXX, no feelings can be unconditional. You fall in love with somebody, and if you are lucky you continue to love what that person becomes as you both change and mature. Statistically speaking I understand the odds are against any relationship lasting 'til death...', but when you find one that you want to, you have no choice but to go for it, believe me.

    Cynicism is fine and we all have it at points in our lives dependant upon the state of our relationships, but loving someone who loves you in return is better.

    Regards

    I agree Diggs. There's nothing wrong with cynicism. Everyone has at least a touch of it, that's human nature. I happen to be fortunate enough to be able to carry very little within my heart. But that's my own choice.

    I feel a touch of pity for the cynics who feel it's their duty to try to inject their cynicism into other's lives. I don't know the reasoning behind it, nor do I care to. Whatever the reason, the main goal of a cynic is to put a damper on everyone else's happiness. They see people enjoying themselves, and decide, well, I'm going to put a stop to this.I'll inject some negativity into this happiness and make everyone unhappy, just like me. They try to draw you into a lose/lose situation. Then you're in their world. Misery loves company, I suppose.

    Fortunately, I don't buy into it. I'm a very happy person, and I've learned to let the negative people be negative. Just walk away from them.

    Up The Irons!, Diggs, old chum.

    Anyway, that's more than enough attention this deserves. Back to the thread subject at hand. I believe I let my feelings be known about love. Anyone else? I'd love to hear from some of the moderators on this subject. I double dog dare ya!
