Did you know I only have one eye? Yep, it's true. My left eye exploded the first time I heard Mimi Ripperton hit "that note."

Actually, as I child, I really feared my dad putting on the Four Seasons, his fellow "hitters" from Newark.
WOK LIKA A MAN, TOK LIKA MAN!
I did like "Swear to God" by ol' Frankie Valli though. My father never forgave him for recording "Grease."

I know - I remember hearing that song and thinking about the ugly kids in school, like pissant.
That's why I'm so nice to ugly people. Because of Janis Ian.

We have Minnie Ripperton to thank for giving us the lovely (in my eyes anyway) Maya Rudolph.

"Honey" was 1968 and therefore disqualified....however, "Watching Scotty Grow" was 1970 and just as vapid.....

That story brought a tear to my eye - or maybe it was the rain.
But that is a wonderful wedding memory.

Also, geometric, shiny metallic wallpaper, with a heavy emphasis on the colors brown, silver, and orange.
I'm guilty of having my bedroom like this back in the day.
