Setting Up Special Thread For Tonight And Tomorrow Night For The NO Mark Levin Show. WELCOME Tonight's And Tomorrow Night's Guess Host. Merry Christmas And Happy Hannukah!
I think I need a blender award for...just being here!
It’s comfort music. These songs were on loop when i worked at TGIFridays when I lived in Annapolis.
Not feeling down, but thinking about losing both my mom and dad this year and need to be comforted.
Normally, I listen to Black Sabbath and ACDC. So, my mancard is still in tact...intact?
Annapolis was some fun times. Got my first dog, Porkchop. Had a job where they not only paid me, they looked forward to seeing me, TGIFridays. My wife was on meds that kept her from going psycho, so I felt like everything was on the right track.
Then, I started trying to better myself. Seems like the harder I tried, the more success I achieved, but things got harder, and we spent ourselves into deeper debt, until the whole thing fell apart in 2001, and the final disaster was in 2007. It has been 7 years since then, and I still remember that Christmas was the one where I stopped trying, deciding to simplify my life instead.
Now that I have simplified my life, and I am getting out of the debt hole, there isn’t much left of what made me happy at one time.
So, the Cranberries just make me feel better in times like this.
Later all!
mancard: check
You know music is strange thing...
you can hear a song and your mind takes you back
to a point in space and time...
I worked part time at a sporting goods store 35 years ago
and they played a certain song over the muzak often.
So, today, whenever I hear “Baker Street” (Gerry Rafferty)
I am instantly transported back to that point in space and time.
Oh, the reason I was originally listening to The Cranberries is because tonight, I am joining some friends to play Zombicide. And the Cranberries song Zombies got in my head.
Merry Christmas!
Thank-you Clint!
Tom is on FIRE right now!
TGIFridays played Addicted to Love. I used to tell the dishwasher, You might as well face ot, you’re a dick.
Then there is that song about, “That’s me I the corner...losing my religion” or something like that. I STILL HATE THAT SONG.
I never liked whiny songs, and that os the whiniest.
Well, you just had to go and do that, didn’t you!
LOL
There are only a half dozen songs or so that are
somehow rooted/linked in the synapses of my mind
to a specific point in my life.
...and that song is one of them...
Thanks!
yHeLLo, Tom Marr!
Not me. That song was playing in the background when I was on the phone, when I was 15, when a girl cancelled a date because her little brother said, “You’re going out with Ernie? Is Bert coming, too?” She hung up and refused to take my calls.
Why do some people on FR seem to pick on you?
I have seen it before, and I saw it again today.
Do I need to form a posse to respond?
She was not good enough for you.
She is now married to Oscar the Grouch.
“Bloody Bill de Blasio”
Good one Tom!
OK you get the sob division if I get the FYMF division
