But you'll take the advice of the Village People... what does Connie think of all this? And here I thought Squire was the one in the navy...

lol...got me to thinking about Mr. Woot's mysterious past...

He's traded in his stetson for a parrot, but...

Finished When the Game was Ours; made me even more depressed---there will never be another NBA era like the Bird/Johnson era...<sigh>...

Don't know what's next yet...leaning towards The Woman, but Killing Ghost is calling and The Tommyknockers is starting to make it's presence known. Maybe the postman will help me decide tomorrow--later today...

You think wwwwaaaayyyy to much, and have access to far too much software and inter-webby search engines

I just noticed that someone in Parrmatta had put up their "partner's" of 6 years Village People LP collection on e-bay and it got me thinking...

and you're one to talk--I still marvel at the things you come up with. I pale in comparison to your inter-savvy!

Cool birds btw.

Squire the Stalker.

[srboone]

I saw your name, baby
In a telephone booth
And it told all about you, mama
Boy, I hope it was the truth

I took down your number
Looked up your address, Sue
And I was hopin' that maybe
You could love me, too

I'm gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
I'm gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by

And then I'll jump from the shadows
And try and catch your eye
Gonna run my fingers through your hair
And love you everywhere

Now I don't want to get too romantic
That's just not my way
But when I get my arms around you
I'm gonna rock you all the night

Gonna rock you all the day
Suzanne, you won't know it but I'll be behind you
Don't try and run away from me, little girl
Wherever you go I'll find you

And when you go to the pictures
And I know you do
Don't take no one with you
'Cause I'll be there, too

Suzanne
--------------"Suzanne" (1968), Randy Newman

Really creepy love song.......

[srboone]

Same guy who wrote this one!

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you got troubles
I got them too
There isn't anything
I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them
Will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy

And as the years go by,
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Yea You've got a friend in me.

All's fair in love, war, and musical genius!

Hey! Do you have the lyrics for "Short People"? (You don't have to post, I could find them, but I do like Randy Newman)

Why, yes I do!

I was 7 when this little gem came out!

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little fett

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

I've been a big fan since '88, when I first heard "Sigmund Freud's Impersonation Of Albert Einstien in America."

I deserved that one.......

Well, the postman came through for me! Next is The Cows are Coming by Thomas Cranham. Never heard of him, but I thought Id give him a try.

[Grant Wootton]

Hmmm ... Cows, Cranham, Cornish Countryside .... there's a disturbance in the force Luke ... bells are ringing, lightsabers are wavering ..

Just finished Seven Stories by James Freeman. All seven of these stories are great, haunting stories about ghosts both real and imagined. I can't recommend this one enough. Just started The Grief Frequency by Kealan Patrick Burke early into this one but so far I am enjoying it.
