What are some of your favorite songs?

I drove a cab nights in Hartford in the early 70's.  While nothing exactly like that happened, I have some interesting stories

I think there used to be a show on HBO about cab drivers and their weirdo customers so I bet you have some interesting stories.  I was hitchhiking in Connecticut when I was 15, (I hated the school bus, it wasn't cool), and this cabby picked me up and asked me if I got high before school, I said, "before, during and after.  Anyways he showed me his triscuit box full of Columbian Gold and after that he picked me up everyday and I floated through my days of school.

Are you going to tell your stories?  Better do it in a different thread so I don't have to split it off and piss off sensitive people.

Oh shoot, I'm sorry Kat!  I shouldn't have told my cabby story, I always seem to get off to another subject even on threads I start, sorry!  I wasn't mad at you for splitting the other thread.

No worries

I thought that was SNL

   My favorite would have to be "Voices Carry" by Til' Tuesday.

You're dating yourself you and I.   

I still have a crush on Aimee Mann. 

On advice of counsel and wife, I plead the Fifth. But... yeah. Thanks for the video link.

The 80s (and 80s music) sucked in many ways, but there was more creativity and originality visible on a wider scale than at any other time. The 60s had the motto of "do your own thing", but in the 80s, we actually did. And from the 90s through today, music and people have been stuffed back into pigeonholes yet again.

I love so many different songs, and so many different types of music, that I had to think back about which songs have stuck with me over the last 25+ years.

I have more than a week's worth of continuous play in my iTunes folder, and sadly that doesn't include the LP and cassette stuff from my teens until I was 23 and bought my first CD, nor those CDs I traded away until iTunes came along and I started saving my music.

But having thought it over...

1. Pie Jesu, Andrew Lloyd Weber's Requiem
2~~ Just about anything by Jerry Jeff Walker
3. Shorty's Friends around a campfire.

  Anything by this guy.  He plays classical with the amp plugged in and cranks it UP!

[Braddogg]

Lloyd, I've been on a real Leonard Cohen kick the past week or so.  One of my favorites is "Who By Fire."  And at least once a week when I'm at home I walk into a room hearing my father sing that Harry Chapin song . . . without it being on the radio.
