Have you ever been so DEEP into an artist's music that you just couldn't stand it? The kind of one-on-one connection with a song that puts you in the kind of frame of mind where, should the song ask you to, you'd do something dastardly simply to earn its love?
That's how I feel when I listen to nearly anything by Ben Folds. It just keeps getting better and better.
Why can't all music be that good?

Yup. My musical experiences have run that deep before.
I feel the same about anything by Paolo Conte (Italian folk singer, writer, rebel) and Leonard Cohen.
I also feel that way about poetry sometimes. My favorite being Yevgeny Yevtoshenko. The guy's writings blow my MIND. I would walk all the way to Siberia to meet this guy.

Cleo, are the songs on the radio telling you to do bad bad things again?

No. They're telling him to do GOOD things. ;-)

I thought songs only told people to do bad things? That's why backward masking and Judas Priest were so terrible.
(Yeah, right; if they told kids to clean up their rooms in backward masking, that would work!)

Bad = Good (sometimes)
That's what I meant. And I sure could use some music that would motivate me to work. That would RAWK.

See? Deep down, Bob is an Old Guy. He listens to Old Guy music. But soon, maybe he'll get on antidepressants, and happy bands will make sense to him.

Bob and I went to a kareoke Saturday night, and he got drunk. Reeeeeeeal drunk. I was the well-behaved designated driver. I could tell his secrets all day long. (Which is cheaper than you getting him drunk, and hoping he tells the same secrets, see.)

Pink Floyd is highly over-rated, low quality, melodramatic schloch for depressed teenagers. (Now that I've infuriated the entire male audience...)
On second thought, let's get Ror* drunk and hear HIS secrets. I've already heard Bob's.

one not so secret thing tho is that I'm a cheap drunk and I hate the taste of beer.... white wine is another story, as long as it isn't too dry. a couple glasses outta do it... but I'll have the hangover before I finish the second..... kinda makes the whole drinking thing a waste when that happens...

Men's minds are wiggly; therefore, they see everything as wiggly, whether or not it actually is wiggly.

I was in a "marriage class" tonight. They were discussing how we sometimes expect our spouse to measure up to a great trait one of our parents had. People were saying things like "My dad was a real handyman around the house, so I expected Fred to be... but he can't fix anything."
So it gets to this one couple, and the woman says "My husband doesn't compete with my dad. He has to compete with my 80 pound Golden Retriever. (long pause) Of course, they meet different needs for me."

How odd.
Well, for me, my man has to compete with my brother. My brother is right up there next to GOD. He can do no wrong.
My dad, on the other hand, is a complete bible-thumper (in a BAD way, Sooz), he is shy and quiet (even to ME), and I don't even KNOW him very well, to be honest. He keeps to himself. I definitely would NOT want a man like that.
