ohhhh man! The "content has been removed."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

the article itself is very insightful, and very sad, actually. Not just due to the obvious horror of the events he was responsible for, but also because of the horror of the events that took place that caused him to be someone who would be responsible for such horrific events.

Also, a question: Should we vote for what we think would be the Songfactor's favorites (in honor of them) or should we vote the songs we like best, regardless?

this one comes up as "Romeo and Juliet" for me and it says it's been removed...

*whew* under the gun. 1. Silhouettes ~ The Rays (my mom's favorite song!) 2. Love Can Make You Happy ~ Mercy 3. Delta Dawn ~ Helen Reddy 4. Don't Worry Baby ~ Beach Boys & Lorrie Morgan 5. The Morning After ~ Maureen McGovern 6. Book of Love ~ Monotones 7. Somebody's Knocking ~ Terry Gibbs 8. Take Good Care of my Baby ~ Bobby Vee 9. Denise ~ Randy & The Rainbows 10. Queen of Hearts ~ Juice Newton That was a fun listen. A lot of really upbeat stuff here.

We saw "Heat" a couple of weekends ago. Wasn't sure I'd like it, as I'd read viewer reviews that said the amount of F-bombs in it detracted from the quality of the movie. WRONG. The F-bombs fit in so well with the character and the general attitude of the flick I hardly noticed them. I laughed almost all the way through this movie, and so did my BH. He liked it so much he wants to go see it again. Great funny film, great comedic team, who should and probably will be pairing up for more movies in the future, and wonderful characters and situations. I could find nothing about this movie that I didn't like. 10/10

Explaining the Rolling Stone Cover, by a Boston Native By Matt Taibbi

yay! I might have some free time on Friday to listen.

On Tuesday, July 16, the British Columbia Coroners Service confirmed that Monteith -- who was 31 years old at the time of his passing -- had "died of a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol." "There is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident," the report stated. "Mr. Monteith's family has been made aware of the circumstances surrounding the death. On behalf of the family members, the BC Coroners Service asks that the media respect their privacy at this difficult time." Source

oh crikey, any song that has a fade-out at the end and the singer tries to lip synch that, it is going to be awful.

Amy Winehouse had completed rehab how many times? This is probably someone falling off the edge after toeing the line for so long...

ooooo nice! Good tunes, there, Laurie. I learned some good (new to me) ones, too, that I'll be looking for, if I can ever figure out how to use the "new (un)improved and-in-fact-ridiculously-awful" iTunes.

sorry if I missed where it said earlier, but I'm buried alive and can't crawl out long enough to see when this one ends? I want to vote in all of these, but there's so much listening I need to do...

Where is the Love ~ Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway 9. Man in Black ~ Johnny Cash 10. Heartless ~ Heart Props to Bluebird, Beautiful, Too Late for Love and several others that I ran out of room on my sticky note for...

Thanks!!

This is EXACTLY the type of thing Songplaces is all about! Our ultimate goal is so people can plan trips based on the musical significance of the place. One day we hope to have a mobile app to connect the dots. Thanks for sharing this. This is way cool.
