Yes. Thank you. Someone else sees it. I've had a hard time taking them seriously and songs like "Paradise" aren't doing anything to change that. Seriously, that song is such a bore.


Boring is better than terrible, I guess. What kind of music do you find entertaining?

Personally, some of my favorite music includes classics from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, as well as songs from Disney movies and orchestral music from movie soundtracks. Kind of hard to pin down what music I like from this millennium as it varies.

Well, if you don't have a lot of talent for acting, maybe you have other talents. Why don't you try drawing, music, etc.?

As a kid, I always thought Canned Heat had Kermit the Frog for a lead singer. (Until Alan Wilson died and was revealed obviously not a muppet.) Hite finally matured the group after that.

^^^I can't imagine anybody else fronting "goin' up the country" - that song needed Kermit's voice.

Havent thought heard, nor thought about, that song in some forty years, but yeah the lead singer does sound like Kermit the Frog! But that voice works for the song.

I am so in sync with the crowd that... I even listen to N'Sync!

But one thing I cant abide is: the song "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle.

Love a tear jerking song as much as the next music lover, but its a fine line between making the listener cry, and making the listener barf. And for me that song is on the wrong side of that line.

You should listen to "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks....that thing'll make you want to slit your wrists.


Or how about "Timothy" by "The Buoys"...a veiled story about survival by way of cannibalism....
This generation has no cache on nutso stuff.......

I did not know that. Why get bent out of shape about that?

I had a good chuckle about twenty years ago. I was at dinner with a girlfriend and her family and they were going on and on about how disgusting Marylin Manson was. These were the same people who idolized Alice Cooper. And, considering the times, Alice Cooper was a lot more radical. When he came out, you still couldn't say 'pregnant' on TV and it was revolutionary for Mr. and Mrs. Brady to sleep in the same bed.

Edit: What about even before then with Professor Ton Lehrer and his brand of subversion? "Be Prepared", "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", "Vatican Rag?"

Oh man that was bad. It's amazing how you forget just how bad game shows were at that time.
