:::waving::: ooo, I know! The fireman shows the photograph of the Queen in the something something roundabout!

I also seem to remember something about a nurse selling jello shots from a tray?...

Well ... I think my name explains itself. I am quite a nice guy and even now my wife says I am and syas shes very grateful i found MB ... also many people say that quite often about me aswell. So I figured I would go with the flow. I didnt have as many issues as many here did .. so I didnt want a screen name to reflect my marital issues, just my character.

I knew this guy, who loves the beatles. When his beatles albums got ripped off, a cop friend called him from a bar and said there was somebody selling his albums there. The Guy went down to the bar and looked at the albums, and confirmed they were his to the policeman. The cop asked what he wanted to do. The Guy said give me 5 mins out back with him, and he broke his neck.

Scary huh? Don't mess with those hippies.

You're lucky to be alive.

Actually, I think this redeems everything....unless he admits to having Leonard Nimoy's album. That would just be sad.

This reminds me of a story, actually. In 5th grade, I wanted some "cool" music for Christmas, so I asked for the Saturday Night Fever album. My mom got me the Osmonds....the OSMONDS!

And it wasn't even a LITTLE bit rock and role. But she the Osmonds were more "wholesome."

Hey!!! Don't be dissin' on the Osmonds! That was my very first concert EVER -- I was really little and I wore purple socks -- just like Donnie!

The Osmonds were a "gateway band" for me I guess -- When I was in 9th grade I thought myself hilarious for putting both Madonna's Like A Virgin and Whitesnake's Slide It In on my Christmas list -- Turned out my mom didn't find it all that funny... Go figure!

Mrs. W

Hey, I think my H might be president of the Donny Osmond fan club. Well, not quite, but almost. He's probably one of the only male members.

Doesn't anybody around here listen to real music? Where's the Three Doors Down, Third Eye Blind, Five For Fighting, Green Day, Train, Joe Jackson, etc.? Come on people. Get yourselves some real music.

Okay, I'm running now.

Boots Randolph, Dave Clark 5, Inkspots, Gary Lewis and the playboys, Nancy Sinatra, Herb Alpert, Glen Cambell + others, and these are all albums I had before I was 14. Then of couse who could forget The Monkeys, Tommy James and the Shondells, T-rex, (many beats and styles have been stolen from them IMO, Cars?).. SteppanWolf, Ten Years after, Deep purple,(Made in Japan woot), the list goes on..

When my Mom, a sunday school teacher mind you, wanted to get me an album for my 15th birthday, and wanted it t be a surprize. I told her to go to a music store in the city, and ask them what to buy. Mom was in her 40s and the last guy she listened to was Eddy Albert, she was not in tunes to the new music lol. So this music place, which was also a headshop, gave her "Yes, close to the edge" My friend liked Alice Cooper and I liked him some also.

I miss Eddie Albert though, For years I could recite and sing his songs with friends who remembered him also. Music is such a powerful tool is it not? Just thought of Don Mclean..

"I went down to the Sacred store,
where I heard the music years before,
but the man there,
said the music,
wouldn't play

And in the streets the people screamed
the children cried and the poets dreamed
not a word was spoken
the church bells all were broken

The three men I admire the most
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
all caught the last train for the coast
the day, the music, died"


Don't know why I went into that lol, maybe I,ve got "To much time on my hands" (Styx BTW)

Oh and I had the Osmonds too, and crush on Marie

Oh, wait... you said "list."


Nevermind...

Okay, now you're getting into my time. Let's see, I grew up on The Police, Chicago, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Air Supply (for those sentimental moments), Bryan Adams, Foreigner.

I still listen to the old stuff sometimes, but I like the new stuff too.

I am officially stalking John Ondrasik. My H's cousin knows him and we've been to two of his concerts in the past couple of years. We go see him every time he goes on tour.

Until the day he died, my cousin called me "Marie". He thought I look just like her.

Me? Bobby Sherman

But man! could Al Green sing a tune!

Yeah those were in my 20s, I still listen to them and consider them to be my era.

In the 90s, when my 16 year old daughter was into Creed, and at a critical time in my lifewhen everything was falling apart, I got back into music and was listening to "Arms wide open", and it moved me so much I started to listen to them like a teenager looking for himself, ahem, again?

Well I would put on the headphones and crank it up like I wanted it to drown out my thoughts. One morning after sleeping with them on, I woke up and heard ringing in my ears. I still hear it 14 yrs later, I now have high frequency hearing loss. And having survived all those teen years when I cranked it up, I still got jammed, Lol Oh well...Thanks Midlife crisis.

Didn't he sing "Little green Apples"?

You know those really uncool music radio channels, that play "mellow music", which means they play nothing too frightening or rebellious?

Well this thread is like listening to one of those.

Donnie and Marie did a TV special over here about three years ago, and Marie looked VERY fine. She has worn very well!

Would someone push "Floor Number 8" please?

Wanna know who Mr. W thinks you look like? The other night we were watching Celebrity Apprentice and Lisa Rinna came on -- Mr. W said, "She reminds me of MF"...A HUGE compliment!

***her lips have been fixed now -- she no longer looks like a duck-billed platypus -- She's beautiful!

Mrs. W

Noooo, CP! Wasn't that one sung by that Vegas guy with the slicked-back hair? Or Glen Campbell, or someone like that?

Bobby Sherman sang "Little Woman" "Julie, Do You Love Me"...um, I think he managed to squeak out one or two more before his fifteen minutes was up.
