Good thing the DJ didn't mention Ronstadts weight, the writer would have become suicidal.

"..goin down the stoney end
I never wanted to go down the stoney end
Momma let me start all over
cradle me, oh momma cradle me again...."

An excellent example of the mindless prattle that passes for Aussie journalism.

Ten days or so ago it was her birthday - her 58th birthday in fact.

At her birthday party the cake was the size of a sheet of plywood. Others were heard saying "Yes, but what are we going to eat?"

58 candles looked awful sparse on all that acreage.

I have never understood people agonizing over having a birthday.

You have two options - 1, have a birthday and be happy to made it another year or 2, your dead.

I'll happily take the latter every year, Lord willing.

What seems to be the problem ?

Alles Froliches zum Geburtstag, Liebchen. Ich weiss, dass Du erst ab morgen diesen Beschrift lesen wirst - Du hast irgandwie Was anderes zu tun, heute abend!

It might be more appropriate for:

Look in any miror,

Is there no escape?

He will show you lines that time has etched into your face.

And waiting round the corner,

To put his arms around you.-

Death Comes courting, and you don't know what to do!

And the NEW HARD TIMES ARE HERE!

And the NEW HARD TIMES ARE HERE!

I'll happily take the latter every year, Lord willing.

I think you meant to say "I'll take the former." ;-)

[Fzob]

LOL - you are correct - thanks

You did mean the former didn't you?

[Fzob]

Yes, Thanks

To me, it seems that Linda would make a good Senator from California.

And the translation is....???? Try not to taunt us like Kerry does when he wants to be secret and speaks French.

Agreed. As Bob Dylan has said, any day above the dirt is a good day.
