If there was a point to this story, I've already forgotten it.

Listen To The Music

[Rod]

I have one of those T-shirts that says, "I may be old, but I got to see all the GOOD bands."

My mind is a non-stock jukebox. There's ALWAYS something playing in there. I just heard the greatest intro ever ("A Hard Day's Night"), and it led into the Allman Brothers' cover of "Don't Want You No More".

I should have been a producer....

I always found confusing and slightly offensive that Da Doo Ron Ron was about a guy named Bill.

Has anyone seen my car keys?

[keith in tampa]

But why is it always "Baby Shark?"

[Jeff Meyerson]

Ditto on the T-shirt, Rod.

Play "Da Doo Ron ROn" or anything else from the 'sixties, I'm there, but since the app is bound to be playing music from the last 30 years, I'm out.

Not get off my damn lawn!

"Man tom could you please explain to the class how a bill becomes a law?"

"I needed money 'cause I had none (ahh)
I fought the law and the law won
Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I'm breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
The lunatic is in my head."

@man tom:
"I'm just a bill. Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill
Well, it's a long, long journey to the capital city.
It's a long, long wait while I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law some day
At least I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still just a bill."

MOTW - The high school I graduated from was the number one school in the state both academically and in sports during the late 40', all throughout the 50's and into the sixties. What I am saying is, this was a VERY good high school when I went there. I heard or read somewhere, the goal of the school was to prepare their students to the best of their abilities to become productive members of society. That they did. Remember the Jay Leno segment where He asked people at random questions about the country or history and always the person gave some really dumb answer? The person is an imbesile. I feel like I meet people like this everyday. I often in conversation use the phrase, "where in the hell did they go to school?"

Thought for the day. Well two thoughts for the day.

Jesus walks into his father's carpentry shed and asks, Dad, did you call me? No son, replied Joseph, I just hit my thumb with a hammer.

Yes, we all remember January 6th of last year...It was $2.25 a gallon.

I'm still stuck on trying to decode the lyrics to "Louie, Louie."

Flathead County Frank - You should enjoy this.

This video is especially funny for me, I had a friend who often imitated Joe Cocker, the body language and all.

Louie Louie

[man tom]

From that era of great popular music, remember the Classics IV song, Spooky? Well, that was great enough, but not as great as this all time favorite reminisce number.

I find myself reminiscing too often.

I still can't remember where I left my car keys, but if you could only hum a few bars it might come back to me.
