I often here Rush and other conservatives talk about seminars that liberals like me can attend to be instructed on how to call conservative talk shows, post on conservative websites, etc. The problem is that I have missed so many such seminars. Can somebody bring me up to speed? THANKS!
THAT I don't have on vinyl or tape. 
 
*sigh* 
My son wonders why my CDs take so long to get scratched up. I wondered why he scratches his up so much. Then I realized he never handled vinyl.... 
Oh yeah. 
The 45's I had, don't know where they are at the moment, they had one or two that got dust caked into them. 
Gently cleaning with soapy water and letting air dry was quite fun. 
Never had that happen with the 33's. 
 
CD's do get scratched way too easy as well. 
Small amount of dust instide a tightly fitting case and you're done.
Still, I've had CDs that are 8 years old and only got scratched because Teen was using my CD player without permission and left them unprotected. 
 
Those of us who knew how to handle vinyl treat them with more respect.
 How old are you, really?
Hey kid, rock and roll 
Rock on, ooh, my soul 
Hey kid, boogey too, did ya 
 
Hey shout, summertime blues 
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes 
Hey kid, rock and roll, rock on 
 
And where do we go from here 
Which is the way that's clear
Only have one CD that is messed up, that was due to someone dripping nail polish remover on it. 
 
Have cassettes that got messed up from the deck deciding to chew them apart.
That goes back to my college days........
Old enough to have seen the TV series Battlestar Galactica in it's original run.
Blast from the past.
Keep postin the oldies!....I like my nostalgia with a good 
beer!
Ground control to major Tom..............
That was before my college days..but my college days also started late...
Ground Control to Major Tom 
Ground Control to Major Tom 
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on 
Ground Control to Major Tom 
Commencing countdown, engines on 
Check ignition and may God's love be with you 
(spoken) 
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff 
This is Ground Control to Major Tom 
You've really made the grade 
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear 
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare 
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control 
I'm stepping through the door 
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way 
And the stars look very different today 
For here 
Am I sitting in a tin can 
Far above the world 
Planet Earth is blue 
And there's nothing I can do 
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles 
I'm feeling very still 
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go 
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows" 
Ground Control to Major Tom 
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong 
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
Can you.... 
"Here am I floating round my tin can 
Far above the Moon 
Planet Earth is blue 
And there's nothing I can do." 
 
I liked this one from fairly early Bowie: 
 
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent 
you asked for the latest party 
With your silicon hump and your ten inch stump 
Dressed like a priest you was, 
Todd Browning streak he was 
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee, 
I'm sure you're not protected, for its plain to see 
Diamond Dogs are poachers, and they hide behind trees 
Hunt you to the ground they will, 
mannequins with kill appeal 
 
*chorus* 
Will they come? 
I keep a friend serene 
Will they come? 
Oh, baby, come unto me 
Will they come? 
Well, she's come, been, and gone 
Come out of the garden, baby 
You'll catch a death in the fog 
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs 
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs 
 
 
 
 
The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat, 
and he lives on top of Manhattan Chase 
The elevators broke, so he slides down a rope 
onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man, go 
Meets his little hussy with his ghost-town approach 
Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali broach 
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake 
Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sable-ized 
 
*chorus* 
 
Who-who-who 
Call them the Diamond Dogs 
Who-who-who 
Call them the Diamond Dogs 
Ahhh-whooo, ah 
Ah-owwww 
wuf-wuf 
 
In the year of the scavenger, season of the b*tch 
Sashay on the board-walk, scurry to the ditch 
Just another future song, lonely little Keats 
There's gonna be sorrow, try and wake up tomorrow 
 
*chorus* 
 
Who-who-who 
Call them the Diamond Dogs 
Who-who-who 
Call them the Diamond Dogs 
Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow 
Call them the Diamond Dogs 
Dogs 
Call them the Diamond Dogs 
Call them, call them 
Call them the Diamond Dogs 
Call them, call them, ooooo 
Call them the Diamond Dogs 
Keep cool 
Diamond Dogs, OK 
Hey-hey-hey-hey 
Beware of the Diamond Dogs 
Beware of the Diamond Dogs 
Beware of the Diamond Dog 
Beware of the Diamond Dog 
Dog, dog, dog 
Beware of the Diamond Dog 
 
(always thought this was pretty much cyberpunk before there was cyberpunk)
Now I've got a hankering to hear Devo.
First, some Cream: 
 
It's getting near dawn, 
When lights close their tired eyes. 
I'll soon be with you my love, 
To give you my dawn surprise. 
I'll be with you darling soon, 
I'll be with you when the stars start falling. 
 
I've been waiting so long 
To be where I'm going 
In the sunshine of your love. 
 
I'm with you my love, 
The light's shining through on you. 
Yes, I'm with you my love, 
It's the morning and just we two. 
I'll stay with you darling now, 
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up. 
 
 
 
I've been waiting so long 
I've been waiting so long 
I've been waiting so long 
To be where I'm going 
In the sunshine of your love.
Now, some Devo 
 
A victim of collision on the open sea 
Nobody ever said that life was free 
Sank, swam, go down with the ship 
But use your freedom of choice 
 
Ill say it again in the land of the free 
Use your freedom of choice 
Your freedom of choice 
 
In ancient rome there was a poem 
About a dog who found two bones 
He picked at one 
He licked the other 
He went in circles 
He dropped dead 
 
Freedom of choice 
Is what you got 
Freedom of choice! 
 
Then if you got it you dont want it 
Seems to be the rule of thumb 
Dont be tricked by what you see 
You got two ways to go 
 
Ill say it again in the land of the free 
Use your freedom of choice 
Freedom of choice 
 
Freedom of choice 
Is what you got 
Freedom of choice! 
 
In ancient rome 
There was a poem 
About a dog 
Who found two bones 
He picked at one 
He licked the other 
He went in circles 
He dropped dead 
 
Freedom of choice 
Is what you got 
Freedom from choice 
Is what you want 
(repeat)
No relation - honest!
LOL!
