Dude, it's hip to be square. Besides, we're through being cool, friend.[
quote]
It was not so when I was young but now it is. This is why I liked certain lyrics from some songs about deviating from the norm...some of Supertramps definitely do state that and there was one group I liked a lot that applauded the square or geek but I can't think of their names now...senility, you know

, either that or I have not woken up quite yet (I am a nite owl). I think you would have liked the off-beat group. When it comes to me I will let you know.
Yeah, they are a bit strange to this day; I see some since I live in my hometown and they are nice to a point but then some are truly odd, like they still have one foot in adolescence. I hung with the moderate crowd, I guess they considered us squares. This is why I don't go to any more class reunions. They are not fun anymore - just the 'in' group showing off and bragging about their accomplishments or countless trips/vacations around the world. They are real snobs!
That's what I hear. I'm sure I will love it.
I know she likes Heart. She tells me she knows of those other people from her college days, but she said she'd have to listen to them. Aha, yes, Supertramp. She and my friend who likes Pink Floyd were talking about them. "Dreeeeamer". I know that song.
Cool, I had been thing of buying a Heart album recently. I saw a Greatest Hits one out and it was only $6.99 but wasn't sure it had the songs I truly love on there. I love the older album - 'Dreamboat Annie' and another older one - the name fails me presently - but I believe Baracuda is on that one and 'Mistral Wind', which is one of my favorite cuts of theirs. I just love Mistral Wind. Maybe I can find it on Youtube; if so I will send you the link on your profile page.
Haha, yes, she loves disco. Well, she is probably from that era. Actually, I was from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, then later, in my 20's there was the other big rock groups, people still like to this day....ah...then came disco. I recall that more in my early 30's. All I recall is going to bars to socialise with my friends and dance and it was a good beat to dance to. I attempted to disco dance but that was a disaster; however, I my friend and I did have a lot of fun trying to pull it off, and we still reminese about some funny times we had.
Yes, I know the song 'Dreamer' well; I have (on vinyl) about 4 of their albums - they are good. I bought 'In the Quietest Moments' recently on CD because that is really my favorite album and that may be my favorite song; no doubt that one is too tame for you though.....haha

That's so adorable! I wanna see a video of that! Please do make one. Brooke is a lovely name, by the way.
I will try to post it in your email (PM box)...see if it works that way.
I will.

I need to stop being a music snob, I think. Though I must say even though I do like some jazz that my dad owns, I like my own music a bit better. Nothing will ever top DEVO in my book, I think,
Alllllways good to be open to alllll types of music, seriously it is...you just might surprise yourself. I did! I like everything now or at least try it, even Opera which I had never considered when I was younger (you are probably cringing now). Well, only thing I just can't tolerate (at my age) is rap and bee-bop.
Oh I'm sure they do-I don't own one. Ooooo! Well, I like some scratching on vinyl. It sounds so good. And one of my favorite smells in the world is old vinyl. Sometimes I just go up to my vinyl collection and smell it like a weirdo. Whatever. Like I said, I LOVE the sounds vinyl. Delicious.
That is what my neighbor says about his vinyl collection - he loves that little authentic scratching sound - how funny. This is really funny - one day this song came into my head from out of the blue and I was dying to hear it. I knew I had the album on vinyl but it was not in my good cabinet which holds the albums upright and keeps them pristine, so I went into a closet and found it and when I put it onto the turntable the whole record was so warped - that is what happens to vinyl if you don't store it right. I though - well give it a whirl anyway. I think it did play somewhat and then played weird. Needless to say, I ended up buying the CD to replace it.
Smell it? well never thought of doing that but hey, 'whatever turns you on' - expression from the disco years, I believe. I do love the smell of Crayola Crayons since that transports me back to my childhood and those memories - I always wanted the box with 64! Think they have even more colors added now - like sparkly ones.
Yes, yes. I like really fast music. Probably because I am young. So I see your point.
I like it only if in the mood and maybe if dancing; then slow is just no good, dancing one needs beat and wilder stuff, faster. I love to dance.
Never heard much of U2, I think once...
Get out of here, really? They are from Ireland and a big name band. I do like them. Now they are more rock.
The only Police song I have on my iPod is, you guessed it, "Don't Stand So Close To Me". :|
At one time I played their music constantly. I love Sting and some of the early videos are just great. I love the black and white one with "Every Breath You Take". I will have to locate it for you online.
Cool. 
Not sure who I was referring to here.
I've seen a few, but I freaked when I met Ray Bradbury. I also skipped out on a DEVO concert a while back partly because I knew I would be bawling my eyes out the whole time. I need to get strong to go see them.
Now that is cool, you meet him, wow. Oh you are funny - you would cry at seeing Devo. Gosh you are a groupie. Do they have that profound an effect on your?
She is nice and fun, totally.
Neat-O. Oooo, creative. I like those types, too.
The group is going well, but LW is sick today, so we will probably wait for her now. Stop in and read it if you have a chance.
Oh, yes, I see your point. I'm not quite a pessimist either ("realistic optimist", I call myself) but tragedies are good.
Seems the optimists are the ones who like the tragedies in literature and in film. I guess we are somewhat serious minded and 'realistic.'
I will. I always read the book first. (Except that one time when I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. Still haven't read that book. D
I have the soundtrack to that film; haven't listened to it for awhile now. I have to be in the mood. I should watch the film again; my library most likely owns it. I liked that film when it came out - quite different. Didn't even know there was a book.
Ooo, sounds quirky! Doppelgangers! I love those. So interesting. IT's always fun to imagine your own doppelganger...
He doppleganger guy is just a riot - played by Jared Harris - Richard Harris's son. He is an actor I greatly admire. He pulls this homeless quirky guy off so well in the film. At one moment in the film he says to Peter (Branagh) " you know you're sort of a cumugeon"...haaha - there is a good word too. I ran to the dictionary to look it up. There are so many funny lines in the film. It is quirky with a lot of heart underneath. I just love that film. I heard in Japan it is a huge hit; isn't that strange...moreso than the US. I think the title threw people off because the main theme of the story is not 'how to kill a neighbor's dog'.
Nah, I don't get offended by "crude" stuff if that's what you're worried about. Nothing ever really offends me.
Even though a little bit crude it is mostly just life like, everyday stuff and I can tell you a few of the cruder scenes will have you laughing hysterically. One is his exam at the doctors for his problems of over sized prostrate and hemroids..they don't really show much of anything but you can imagine it quite well and the lines just crack you up. Ken is so vulnerable in the scene too that you have to love him. We have all been through some doctor embarrassing moments and this one makes it so real and yet so humorous.
I love crooked teeth on men! So adorable.
I don't love them but if they have a gap I actually do think it sort of sexy - weird isn't it. I just don't really think they need to have those cosmetically perfect teeth to look handsome - clean yes, but a bit off, that is fine with me...makes them seem way more human, doesn't it. Who can relate to guys that are totally flawless?
Yes, in American slang - ain't it - yes indeed the cupcake analogy was great!
It is!
yep! I found it to be so, at least most times.
Indeed, I shall, once my back gets all better and I am again able to sit a computer comfortably for longer period of time. I will check out all the stuff you mentioned. Ah, internet.
Hope that gets better soon; what did you do to it anyway? Well, you may not like it all but maybe some. I will try and find some old quirkier stuff you might be able to relate to or appreciate, at least.
Very close to my heart, very close. I love them. They literally saved me. Most people either hate them or just know "Whip It", which is completely overrated if you ask me. (But I still enjoy the song!) Be careful on judging them, because what they did in the early 70's is completely different then their later stuff...AND BEYOND!
Oh, I do recall "Whip it"...in fact they still always play that at weddings.


How funny. I will look them up later on tonight. I may like some of their songs - maybe more the early ones. Isn't "Whip it" more a pop song? Glad thought to know they kept together and progressed with the times. Sigh of a good band, when they can move onto new fresh stuff.
Sorry too late last night and now too busy; I will definitely check that out later tonight. Thanks for the link.
Man or Astro-man? is a close second. If it weren't for DEVO, (a sad, sad world indeed) they would totally be my favorite band. I guarantee you will hear nothing like them ever. (Well, they were inspired by Dick Dale, but aside from that!) I mean, have you ever heard of Space Nerd Punk Surf Rock?
I don't Asto-man. I will look that up, too. Don't know Dick Dale either - who is he? Never heard of 'Space Nerd Punk Surf Rock' - are we still on planet earth?
I guess I do listen to more newer music than I thought. Whatever. It's more like I listen to a bunch of stuff nobody's ever heard of/cares about.

I think so; told you I was in back in the Dark Ages of music or old peoples tunes...haha
Yes, they do. The Beatles are really popular among the kidd-Os these days.
Yes, others your age have told me; even asked if I liked the groups...well, of course I did...I grew up with those groups!
Yep, The Wall! My friend (mentioned three times now, hahaha) played me that soundtrack before but it was over the phone so I couldn't hear much.
The movie "The Wall" is great - incredible. I love it! I also love the soundtrack album. I have it here on file and on CD's.
Yeah, The Beach Boys are kind of a guilty pleasure. They're not really surf music...
I used to like them a lot and probably still would enjoy their music. I think of them more pop too than rock. They were unique and they were always good.
Don't feel guilty silly! You have broad interests - so embrace that fact.
Those are all so classic. But I haven't listened to them. XD I listen to too much underground stuff.
I used to listen to underground stuff too but not now for a long time....just radio it was and probably tamer back then, than now.
Trust me, I don't know much either. The popular ones, at least. Like I said, too much underground/kooky stuff that nobody listens to.
Maybe. I do trust you.
I will. I need those straight A's.
Good girl!
Thanks?
Welcome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think I will once my back gets better like I said. (I like saying "like I said", don't I? XP Sorry.)
Welcome, welcome, welcome! I say "like I said" all the time too...haha. Don't be one bit sorry. I like it, like I said.

Is that Meh or Men!????zzzbbb^&%#@!
Thanks for these links. Later will check them all out - just wait for me to get back to you. I will give them all a whirl.
Adorable and hilarious! And creative! I love the episodes where he has a goatee (there's a couple...) and he has beautiful blue eyes! *le sigh*[/FONT]
