Fell into
a sea of grass
and disappeared among
the shady blades....

He trips her
As her sandals fail
she says
stop
I'm a girl
who's fingernails
are made of mother's pearl...

That's what you get for lovin me?

Oh my, my, oh hell yes, you got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry, when I woke up alone
I hit my last number, I walked to the road?

But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on?

I don't know the song
I don't think Jeff does either
So we should shut up.

dcrazy,
there is no need to "shut up". you might want to investigate the song and listen to it with an open mind... it's good enough for that.

this 50 something year old grandmother i work with gives me cd's every weekend to listen to. it's fun.

this weekends selections:

sly & the family stone - greatest hits
rufus - the very best of
curtis mayfield - super fly (the original motion picture soundtrack)
the o'jay's - the best of
chicago - the very best of (only the beginnings)
gap band - the best of
earth, wind & fire - the best of vol. II
maze (featuring frankie beverly) - back to basics
tower of power - the very best of

so clearly Lonnie is a "greatest hits" kind of listener... which is fine. it's a really interesting way to get to know people... you have them borrow you either books or music that really means something to them. it automatically knocks down a barrier and you can learn randomly in the process.

she doesn't know my momma was a music freak with eclectic tastes... and i've heard this all before. i forgot i had played at my high school talent show doing "everybody is a star" as a breakdown (terrible gig ;-0 ). But it’s fun to get to know her tastes… blah blah.

anyway... "old" music is not evil... it's the shoulders you stand on.

I think DCrazy was trying to make a haiku response like Jeffs.

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 8:00 pm

It's 7 by my count. "I-dont-think-Jeff-does-ei-ther."

Gimme a name and artist and I'll check it out. Or better yet I'll google the lyrics.

I love Chicago (Transit Authority), BTW.

As I was walking down the street one day...

Those who have never heard of Jane's Addiction, or have only heard OF them, have no idea what they are missing. Rarely in the annals of rock music has a band been so daring or so powerful as Jane's was during their brief stint making albums. Part of that was the era they came out of, dominated by mindless hair metal on one side, while a burgeoning antimovement cried below. Jane's Addiction was one of the first bands to get any notoriety from both camps. Fueled by rauccous guitars and mad aggression, the band tricked more than a few metalheads, and thereby helped turn the musical tide.

Jane's was a band that put substance over style, yet had plenty of both. Exuding a dark, poetically tragic aura, the band was surrounded in intrigue and used it to their advantage, parlaying a ravenous live following into a major label bidding war for the next big thing. From early on, Jane's addiction stood out in L.A. from a sea of Motley Crue's and Guns-n-Roses' as a serious band who was following their own path. They didn't sound like anybody else, and they didn't look like anybody else. And what they sang about wasn't adolescent hormonal fantasy.
