Subject: Story Tellers' Single Artist Game

Written By: RockandRollFan on 01/01/03 at 08:49 a.m.

Since It's a brand new year and the other thread was getting pretty big, here is a brand new start.  I hope all of you enjoy U2!

Long ago I lived in a town Where The Streets Have No Name next door to Gloria who was known as the Angel Of Harlem. It had been on a Sunday Bloody Sunday when I suddenly realized "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."  Gloria told me  "Relax and take some Pride (In The Name Of Love) because soon, When Love Comes To Town you will know the joy. With Or Without You believing, it will come to you." Her wisdom I soon realized, when I met a Party Girl. She moved in such Mysterious Ways and I said to her "If You Walk Away, I Will Follow because you are the Sweetest Thing that I could ever Desire."  As we glanced up at the time we realized it was Eleven O'Clock Tick-Tock and the year would end within an hour. Now as I awake with her by my side, we both know that our Two Hearts Beat As One and finally All Is Quiet on New Year's Day.

Billy Joel

I met Captain Jack in Leningrad and proceeded to tell him about My Life.  I was telling him about my Uptown Girl, lamenting that it seemed just like Sometimes A Fantasy in my mind, like I'm drowning in a River Of Dreams .  

He said You May Be Right, but try not to forget that You're Only Human, you may want her to Say Goodbye To Hollywood, but if you put on too much Pressure it may be Goodnight Saigon for you !

"Big Shot" I thought, then I remembered why I hadn't spoken to him in The Longest Time.  

In a situation that reminded me of some Scenes From An Italian Restaurant  ::), I asked the Piano Man for his advice.  After belting out It's Still Rock And Roll To Me he started going on about how it was All For Leyna and how she wasn't referred to as The 'Downeaster' Alexa for no reason, you know (wink, nudge).  Don't Ask Me Why he then said he was going to Allentown because "Only The Good Die Young", I suspect he'd been drinking the profits of his tip jar.

I resolved that while We Didn't Start The Fire, that This Is The Time To Remember, and that She's Always A Woman to me, and that it is Just The Way You Are.  Does she treat me like The Stranger ?  No, That's Not Her Style.

And So It Goes.........

OK, I'm keen on a new game, and so I'll get in while it's new... unlike every other time, I'm one of the last ones to see what's happening! (VANESSA AMOROSI)

I was in an argument with my family which had a little Steam so I thought "Oh, the Sun's Up" and took a walk outside. Just then, I was told by Absolutely Everybody to Rise Up and use The Power to Shine over the Bitter Twist I was in. Then, a guy who was taking surveys asked "Who's Lovin' You?" and gave me a piece of paper. Then, I read it: "Have A Look around, if you can say, everyone can Take Me As I Am, then you don't need to Turn To Me for a Spin (Everybody's Doin' It)". I thought it was absolute rubbish so I threw it at the Tent By The Sea, but Every Time I Close My Eyes I saw those words. Next, I decided to be Lifted Up by the people there, and then I went home. Later, a voice inside my head told me, "How Y' Livin', girl, when You Were Led On? You need to learn that One Thing Leads To Another and that you have to get used to the Change that your Dreams can't tell you.

The End.

ok, I will try:

Four Seasons

Oh What a Night, it was December 1963, and Sherry with her friend Ronnie decided to find the Big Man in Town, Jim.The local football hero,they both had a big crush on him, but he was only interested in Dawn. Ronnie shrugged and told Sherry Big Girls Don't Cry and went off to become a Candy Girl. But Sherry didn't give up. She said to him "Let's Hang On. Stay..." But Jim just scoffed and replied Tell It To The Rain. Poor Sherry, whats a girl to do in this situation? Walk Like a Man? No way. She just stuck up her chin and said Don't You Worry About Me, and went back home for the night. Ahh...Silence is Golden.

Back in college many years ago, I met My Best Friend's Girl. He had dumped her, yelling expletives at her and adding "Since You're Gone I will throw away all your stuff!" He then finalized the split by shouting after her, "Bye Bye Love." For me, the situation was The Dangerous Type as You Might Think, given our friendships. Being that he was my friend and yet so was she, the next few days were Touch and Go. I didn't want to be the one to Shake It Up so after rejecting her many advances I took her home and told her that her friendship was Just What I Needed and said "It's All I Can Do because you are both my friends." She persisted, saying "You're All I've Got Tonight so Why Can't I Have You?"  Let's Go to the bedroom" but I pulled away from her kisses telling her that I was All Mixed Up and my emotions were Moving in Stereo. I left and moved on with my life. Now after 2O years, I was at the store last month and suddenly there she was! When Candy-O finally saw me and our eyes met, it felt like Heartbeat City again. She walked right up to  me and said "Hello Again! We talked for hours and just let the Good Times Roll. We dined together that night and found that there was Magic between us. On the Drive back to my place we realized we had something special.  As we paused at my doorstep we began to kiss. She hesitated, smiling up at me she said "This time Don't Cha Stop" and I never have!

I met a runaway who had some love for sale. I believe it was summertime because it was 99 in the shade. She said "I want you!" and soon after we were livin' in sin. I noticed one day that my skin was starting to breakout. Turns out it was a social disease easily treated with some bad medicine. Such is the price of love.

After one wild night, going in and out of love on a bed of roses, with her screamin' "hey God!", she left me. Just a note by the bed that read "You give love a bad name". I wished she'd come back but I was just livin' on a prayer. So I boarded the homebound train and started searching. Everyday I searched. I kept telling myself "She don't know me, or she wouldn't have left". It was like playing roulette but I had to keep the faith that one day I'd find her.

I never did. I will always be on the look out for her. These days it's just one silent night after another.

How about a little J.T. ......


Miguel was a Handyman who spent a lot of time Up On The Roof of his home in Chihuahua, Mexico.  He thought about his beloved Maria Everyday.  They had grown up here together and this was Her Town Too, but she was away in the big city, going to college.

The day Maria came home was a special one for Miguel and the townspeople.  They all watched as her car made its way down the long Country Road and then Miguel ran up and embraced his sweetheart.  "Maria, seeing Your Smiling Face again makes me so happy!"  Maria was overcome with emotion.  "Oh, Miguel", she said.  "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)!"

Finally....The Bee Gees & Andy Gibb!

One time, when I had returned from Holiday in Massachusetts, I was approached by a lady.  She noticed I had nothing to do and told me "You Should Be Dancin' with me at the club because I've got such a case of Night Fever," but just as we were about to do some serious Shadow Dancing, the bartender screamed out some choice Words saying "Run To Me now!" I paused, wondering if he was just Jive Talkin'. I went over and he urgently said "I've Gotta Get A Message To You!" He told me that the "Girl" I was with was More Than A Woman, she was really a GUY! Upon hearing this news, I Started A Joke saying to her "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)! Hey, I Can't Help It if I have a sense of humour! "She" ended up leaving, voice quivering, saying "You aren't welcome in My World." I yelled back that it was very mean to decieve people, finishing with "Don't Forget To Remember" that!! Feeling sad from experiencing so many Lonely Days, and knowing that night had been such a Tragedy, I returned home. Soon I was spending my Nights On Broadway just Stayin' Alive. For the next few years I dated many ladies who told me "I Just Wanna Be Your Everything" and "Love Is Thicker Than Water so "Our Love (Don't Throw It All Away)." I thought I'd experienced way Too Much Heaven so I quit the dating scene feeling I'd fallen in love but it wasn't really love at all. I thought to myself "Lord, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? Days turned to weeks but soon I came across a lady who asked me out.  Over dinner she inquired "How Deep Is Your Love?" I indulged her with my quick wit by replying "I could honestly Love You Inside Out!" We shared a laugh and realized we had just wanted To Love Somebody. We knew then that we'd found the love we'd long searched for, An Everlasting Love...a Love So Right.....

My daughter Billie Jean was such a handful when she was younger.  Her episodes were one Thriller after another.  When she was about five I was Working Day And Night to get some bills paid off and I came home one afternoon to find her on the side of the house trying to climb up on the roof.  "Get Off The Wall!" I cried.  She came down and I noticed the chocolate all over her face.  She had gotten into the cake we were to have for dessert!  
"Go to your room," I said.  I was exhausted and needed some quiet time.

About an hour later I went to tell Billie she could come out.  When I opened the door to her room I didn't see her.  

"Beat It!  Leave Me Alone!" I heard her cry.  She was In The Closet, sobbing.  
"What's wrong?" I asked.  
"Oh daddy, I'm sorry I was Bad.  I just wanted a snack like toast and Jam after school and mommy was sleeping and I didn't want to wake her, so I ate some cake and after I did I knew it was wrong so I tried to hide on the roof and..." she began to cry again.  
I felt I was a little too hard on her at this point.  "Aw, sweetie.  I'm sorry.  Listen, don't worry about the cake, it's not the end of the world."
"Can I have cake for dessert tonight, daddy?" she sniffled with the puppy-dog-eyed look on her face, looking at me.
"Of course you can, sweetheart." I said.

Little did I know I had such a Smooth Criminal of a Lady In My Life... ::)

Creedence Clearwater Revival


I was driving one day, when I came Up Around The Bend and who should I see Down On The Corner but a Sweet Hitch-Hiker  :P

I stopped the car and said "Where are you headed" ?.  She replied "Green River".  I wasn't going anywhere near there, so of course I said "Hop in then".  "My name's Lodi, what's yours" I enquired.  "Proud Mary".

"Have you ever seen the rain", I asked, engaging in small talk.  "Who'll stop the rain", she countered, and I thought uh-oh, this going to be a long trip.... ::)

Then to my surprise she said to me "How would you feel if I made you a Fortunate Son" ?  "You better stop the car"  :P :P :P  "Now I am in business" I thought... ;)  

"I put a spell on you" she said without warning, and before I knew it I was Looking out my back door, and dig it, I'm not talking about the car here..... :-Bad Moon Rising....   :'(

"I put a spell on you" she said without warning, and before I knew it I was Looking out my back door, and dig it, I'm not talking about the car here..... :-Bad Moon Rising....   :'(

One day I was minding my own business sharing My Bologna sandwich with my friend Ricky. Suddenly he challenged me to an eating duel. I told him "I Love Rocky Road" but he countered with "Let's have Lasagna." I told him, either way we were gonna get  Fat so we compromised on a Taco Grande instead. We'd been up all night watching cheesy parody movies, called Gump, Spy Hard, and Beverly Hillbillies on some strange UHF channel.  It harkened me back to when I was young and we'd owned a television that was Just like Michael Jackson....A Black AND White! Anyway, realizing we needed more food, we headed to the store.  We tried to catch a ride on the L-32 but the driver told us if Another One Rides The Bus we'd most assuredly end up on Headline News for the wreck that would occur from being overloaded, so we set off on our long walk. I hadn't walked anywhere since childhood and again recalled my youth. Our house had no tv, radio or electricty...it was like an Amish Paradise though because we enjoyed one Christmas At Ground Zero...that is until The Night Santa Went Crazy from The White Stuff he'd put up his nose earlier in the evening. I had also once called my older brother, Ezikial the King Of Suede, which pissed him off so much that  he went mid-evil on my hynee. For years to come I had been  in horrific pain, Living With A Hernia just Like A Surgeon had told me I'd feel. Now my friend and I were almost to the store so we started humming the Bedrock Anthem thinking of how we'd pig out just like Fred Flintstone did.  Finally inside the store, we were about to do our Isle Thing when a lady suddenly ran away from us screaming "It Smells Like Nirvana!"  For you see, we'd forgotten that the store was a Hick store. We realized that when we suddenly heard Achy Breaky Song blaring from the in store sound system and saw two identical hillbillies girls walking past us...mumbling "I Think I'm A Clone Now." We asked why they said that as we sometimes Dare To Be Stupid, by not thinking about things first.  One said "Well we were invited on a game show. "Elly Mae" said "They told us if we won that we'd recieve brand new computers, and you know we may not be the smartest people but sometimes for us It's All About The Pentiums. Unfortunately, I Lost On Jeopardy and they wisked me off to some lab." Her sister KellyMae told us she had escaped the studio before being abducted and was glad to be reunited with her sister after years apart. My friend and I couldn't stand the thought of being in the store for One More Minute with these strange country-bumpkins, so he said "I Want A New Duck, so we can Eat It." We quickly left the Piggly-Wiggly and then ran all the way home!

Here is one from Boston..and it's kinda biographical!

When I think about the past I, for the most part,  get quite sad. Knowing this I usually say to myself "Don't Look Back" but there are things I do enjoy recalling. Such is the case where I remember the year 1976 like it was yesterday...On a cool December evening I first heard Bostons debut song which title also matched my emotions, giving me More Than A Feeling of happiness. The whole LP made me wish I could someday join a Rock & Roll Band. In those days I had attended many a Party usually leaving early though because lots of people were always Smokin'.  Being a runner I wasn't turned on by that habit at all.  Over the next couple years my friends and I had gotten our first cars.  We loved to race around town quite a bit, and all agreed "We're Ready to roll,"  but after a few speeding tickets we decided to Cool The Engines. As time slowly passed, I met and fell for a girl. My friends teased me saying "A Man I'll Never Be."  They laid off though  when Amanda said to me, right in front of them, "Let Me Take You Home Tonight because there is definatly Something About You."  My friends were stunned as I felt a Higher Power over them for a change.  Later that night I had to Hitch A Ride to her place as my dad had grounded me from my car for my latest brush with the law (Yet another speeding ticket).  I arrived at her place and soon we were making love.  I felt such Peace Of Mind and desire for her.  She moaned softly that she was Feelin' Satisfied as I gave her Foreplay for a very Long Time. I knew I had reached My Destination as I now knew what it felt like To Be A Man. It was like suddenly being in A New World and I can vividly remember saying to myself "I Think I Like It !"

I don't know if anyone has done Hall & Oates yet, but here's mine…

I took an Adult Education class to learn the Method of Modern Love.  That's where I met Sara, because I love to see Sara Smile, play One on One with her, remind her that I placed her Kiss on My List of best kisses, and tell her "You Make My Dreams come true!"  But that night, I found that She's Gone, so I hired some Private Eyes to find her.  They came back and said that she was a Rich Girl and a Maneater.  I told them, "Say It Isn't So and I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)!", and one of them told me, "Bud, You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'!"

One Blue Monday Alice was looking in the mirror and wished that she could enter a different World.  She put her hand to touch the glass and actually fell through to a strange Subculture.  "Wow, Everything's Gone Green!" she gasped, as she was amazed by the lush scenery.  She met up with a charming guy named Joe and they had a Fine Time.  She was just about to receive the Perfect Kiss from Joe when his girlfriend Crystal showed up!  Alice's hopes of finding love were Ruined in a Day by this discovery, so she decided to leave the Bizarre Love Triangle and begin searching for a True Faith.  But then Crystal came up to Alice and said, "give me a call sometime, you won't Regret it.  My number is 5-8-6..."

...Alice then woke up in a state of Confusion over this dream she had about these Love Vigilantes.  Then the phone rang.
"Hello Alice, I've missed you," said Crystal on the other end...

Some RUN-D.M.C.:

One day I decided to go to Peter Piper Pizza with some friends for a quick bite to eat.  We put our order in for a large pepperoni with extra cheese.  It seemed to take forever.  When our order was finally ready the pizza was Tougher Than Leather.  I took it back up to the counter and asked to speak with the manager immediately.  "Sure. Walk This Way," said the cashier.

I was introduced to Mary, the manager, and explained my complaint.  She seemed eager to remedy the situation and asked me to wait a minute and she would be right back.  She brought back a new pizza, but tripped on the way to bringing it and it got all over my clothes, even My Adidas!  Mary started giggling...I was fuming at this point. "Mary, Mary...You Be Illin'!!!"  She continued to laugh.  "Oh, It's Like That, eh?" I asked.  So I began to drink some of my beer but instead spit it out at her.  "Take that, ya Dumb Girl."  My buddies were cheering at this time.  Mary decided to call the police because we were Raising Hell so I said to my boys, "Hit It, Run!" and we took off.  I ran home to change my pizza sauce-stained clothes, because I'm Not Going Out Like That.

;D

Thanks, DJ Midas. Okay so here it is a bit early but, THIS is part of my birthday present to Jessica.

Presenting...hopefully for your enjoyment......a little MORE of my life, as told by the songs of MR. Rick Springfield!

The other day I was recalling some of my time spent here on this earth. I can vivdly remember how, when in the second grade, I'd had my first girlfriend. Kristina would Take A Hand as I walked her home from school everyday.  One day a vicious dog leaped out in front of us. I told her not to panic and assured her we would be alright. I calmly approached the animal and gave him the Human Touch. He started to wag his tail and then everything was fine. I had spent much of my youth reading about Comic Book Heroes so I turned to her and said "I'm Your Superman." I was so happy back in those days, as I was able to Celebrate Youth. Years later, when I was attending college, I was always Calling All Girls, but was finding no real happiness. I recalled what my parents had told me as a young boy, "Don't Talk to Strangers" was what they'd said.  I ran across many lonely Souls that would Carry Me Away after Just One Kiss, often saying "We're Gonna Have a Good Time" as they'd flash thier Motel Eyes at me, softly whispering in my ear "Love is Alright Tonite". I Get Excited to this day, just thinking about that! Anyway, still in college on April 24, 1981, I met The American Girl that stood above the rest, that is until I found out that Alyson had a boyfriend. Jessie's Girl was just trying to make him jealous! Later that year I met and fell for another girl. I felt I was experiencing some Red Hot & Blue Love when I was Inside Silvia. We had been dating for nearly a year when she called and said "Meet me Tonight because we need to talk. We met later on and she said she was leaving me. I said to her "But, I'm Still Crazy For You" and pleaded "Don't Walk Away." Then I was mad at her and shouted "I've Done Everything For You, You've Done Nothing For Me!", as she rushed to her car and drove off. At that moment I felt like the Rock of Life had dropped on my chest and wondered what the State of the Heart beating inside me was going to be in after such a demoralizing case of events. I paused, thinking "What Kind of Fool Am I?"  Now I have been married for many years and raised a family. Recently though, I met a wonderful lady who made me realize that I've always wanted to truly Love Somebody. Feeling it was possibly just another Affair Of The Heart, I was hesistant at first. Now as I Speak to the Sky I have no shred of doubt in my mind, heart or soul. I Know It's Magic and that my true soulmate is the most wonderful person I've ever known. I am certain that Jessica and I will be forever connected...not just on this earth but On the Other Side as well......

OK, a little INXS...

One day I went out to buy The Gift I had been waiting for - a brand new PC.  I went Searching through the yellow pages for a shop, and found a local store above an ice cream shop and an 'expert' there was readily available to help me.  He started going into all this techie-jargon that was way over my head, like he was in a Different World than me.  "This is exactly What You Need," he assured me.  "The cheaper model doesn't Shine Like It Does."  I agreed to purchase the higher-priced PC.

I took home the computer, which came with a monitor, keyboard, speakers and printer.  It took me four hours to set up the machine but then I was good to go.  I decided to change my screen saver to Mystify.  Suddenly I had no color whatsoever; the screen was Black And White.  I checked my color controls and they were set for 16-bit; I hadn't changed them.  "Ok, Don't Lose Your Head," I said to myself.  Then I suddenly had no sound!  The speakers were connected properly and I had the volume way up.  Surely there was a Devil Inside this machine.  Fuming, I boxed up the PC and drove back to the store.

"What seems to be the problem?" said the sales guy, who seemed Elegantly Wasted.

"The problem!?  EVERYTHING is a problem with this thing!  I could Kick this computer!  Everytime I Send A Message it seems to Disappear or the program crashes!  You sold me a piece of CRAP!"  I could feel Bitter Tears about ready to run down my face.

"Well, The One Thing you should know is that you should change the screen saver.  Don't Change the screensaver."  At this point I was ready to bust his chops. "Oh yeah," he snickered, "we only exchange products.  No refunds."

I lost it then.  "Well, This Time you will give me a refund," and I threw the boxes at him, knocking over a display.  I then proceeded to pick him up by the shirt collar.  "Kiss The Dirt, techie," and threw him down The Stairs.

I went to another store and bought a cheaper PC that works perfectly.  Good Times are back again!  :D

Moby: Based loosely on a true story...

Recently I was told to Go.  Move.  I was devastated and felt like I had fallen Into The Blue.  So I packed my things and move to the Southside of the next town over.  I stayed miserable for a while.  All I wanted to do was Bring Back My Happiness.  I was tired of these Natural Blues.

One night I went to a bar where a group of DJs were spinning.  I talked to them and complimented them on a great set.  I asked if they had room for one more in their family and one of them, slightly effeminate, replied, "Why sure, Honey!  Go on and Drop A Beat."  I ran back to the car to grab my vinyl bag, got back into the booth, and began my set.  I spun for about 20 minutes and ended my set with an over-the-top Anthem. I got a standing ovation.  

"Honey, you are a star!" replied one of the DJs, "I Feel It."  It was the first time in a long time that I was Feeling So Real.  And it felt good.

The Doobie Brothers!

Once I was out with a South City Midnight Lady when all at once she said "Take Me In Your Arms 'cause I'm Dependin' On You to be my Real Love." You see..we had gone for a picnic and it seemed just like Another Park, Another Sunday as we were Rockin' Down The Highway. As we approached China Grove I raced a Long Train Runnin beside us. I wanted to cut over the tracks in front of it but realized it was just to Dangerous. As we were Rollin' On she began telling me "Without You I couldn't survive."  She reminded me of time I'd ingested some Black Water and she rushed me off to see The Doctor. I drank it on a dare as someone said I should trust that Jesus Is Just Alright and that I'd be fine..saying It Keeps You Runnin', faith, that is. As my stomach began to ache more, I realized What A Fool Believes could actually kill me! All I wanted was to Listen To The Music as we were Takin' It To The Streets...as we crept One Step Closer time seemed frozen...Minute By Minute seemed like hours...but ultimately I was alright and my faith was restored!

As we were Rollin' On she began telling me "Without You I couldn't survive."  She reminded me of time I'd ingested some Black Water and she rushed me off to see The Doctor. I drank it on a dare as someone said I should trust that Jesus Is Just Alright and that I'd be fine..saying It Keeps You Runnin', faith, that is. As my stomach began to ache more, I realized What A Fool Believes could actually kill me! All I wanted was to Listen To The Music as we were Takin' It To The Streets...as we crept One Step Closer time seemed frozen...Minute By Minute seemed like hours...but ultimately I was alright and my faith was restored!

This one is about WAR.....no, not the one going on, but the group from the 1970's   :D

One day back in 1976, while living in East L.A., Me and Baby Brother were hangin' out listening to some All Day Music at a place called "Tobacco Road." We were minding our own business when suddenly an Outlaw knocked over our table, causing us to Spill the Wine on a Low Rider. He was mad but I jumped in saying "Look pal, it was not our fault and we're sorry it happened so Why Can't We Be Friends?" He joined us as things quieted.  On through the evening he told us many things. He spoke of how years before he'd met a Gypsy Man who had traveled to City, Country, City only to find that The World Is a Ghetto. Our conversation wound down with him telling me "You Got the Power but now I must be Slippin' Into Darkness so have a b*tchin' Summer and remember that the Galaxy will be better if you keep the faith." His name was Cisco Kid and he was a friend of mine.....

The B-52's...


It was the Summer of Love and I had plenty of Legal Tender to burn so I went downtown and bought some Good Stuff from Debbie.  She, Claire and I decided to Party Out Of Bounds, so we took the Dirty Back Road to My Own Private Idaho Potato farm where the buffalo Roam.  We went out into the field and after numerous hits I started Hallucinating. Pluto the planet was right in front of my face.  "Look, Claire!" I shouted.  "I'm going to eat Pluto!!!"  

"That's not a Planet," Claire replied.  "That's just a June Bug, and they're not all that tasty." Then she rambled on about some other nonsense logic, saying "There's A Moon In The Sky (Called The Moon)."  Debbie started snickering.  She dropped her doobie and started a nasty Bushfire.  The fire got out of control and the fire department had to rescue us from the smoke.

"Is that you, Mo-Dean?" asked Sgt. Lava, so appropriately named, being the head of the Fire Dept. & all.

"No, it's the Queen of Las Vegas," I replied in a haze.  "Of course it's me!"

"Well boy, your potato fields have burned down.  Ain't It A Shame..."

The fire dept. hosed down everything and left.  All that was left were some smoldering potatoes...

"Oh man, I'm hungry!" exclaimed Debbie.  "What d'ya got to eat?"

Just then my light bulb turned on.  "I got it!  Baked potatoes! Duuuuude!"

So we all ate some potatoes back at the Love Shack and passed off into Dreamland while watching old sitcoms on Channel Z...

Like the soon to be reruns on television....here is my first story....again.....for the newbies :)  (Originally done October 13, 2002)


Well, first off let me have a Tequilla Sunrise...Followed by some Lyin' Eyes but Take It Easy because you will definately get the Best Of My Love and end up with a Peaceful, Easy Feeling although I Can't Tell You Why except for the fact that I'm The New Kid In Town here at the Hotel California you know where I mean?  It's right next to  The Sad Cafe where I have Already Gone. So instead of being a Victim Of Love could you Please Come Home For Christmas? It's going to be a  Funky New Year here On The Border with your own personal Desperado who, by wearing Those Shoes was destined One Of These Nights to become the King Of Hollywood. For me this story now ends. I can no longer Take It To The Limit

At least re-post some of your personal favorites...another one of mine from October 14 of last year....

Here's one for today....The Doors:

Columbus sailed his Crystal Ship through the sea.  His crew was dubbed the Riders On The Storm as they braved the rugged waters. The odds were said to be Five To One that the world was flat. To prove his detractors wrong, he took his Spanish Caravan and was just Waiting For The Sun to begin his long journey. Like an Unknown Soldier he would show no fear, for his lady ship he did so Love Her Madly. When he finally did Break On Through he and his Ship Of Fools were greeted by the Indians. They thought that "These People Are Strange" and sure enough it was Strange Days that found them. He met a Wild Child though, and soon she said "Love Me Two Times". She became his Wintertime Love as she said to him repeatedly "Touch Me"and "Light My Fire". Soon it was Indian Summer and time for him and his mates to leave. So in preparation for thier depature he acted like a Peace Frog and said that When The Musics Over it will certainly become a Blue Sunday and ultimately it was The End..... :'(

More from the archives....CCR:

The Fortunate Son had caused quite a Commotion at the Green River by breaking up with Proud Mary. Just as they were rolling on a river...he hit her with the news saying I Put A Spell On You under this Bad Moon Rising so you must leave this town and join a Travelin' Band" He had met Suzie Q earlier that day as she was Down On The Corner. She looked like a much traveled, yet still pretty Sweet Hitch-Hiker. He drove her Up Around The Bend and parked. She asked him Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" to which he replied "Not as Long As I Can See The Light!". Then we both wondered Who'll Stop The Rain beacause we had just Heard It Through The Grapevine that a huge storm was coming.  We hurried back to my house, and while Looking Out My Back Door we say the storm approaching. She said to me "Hey Tonight let's have some fun and Run Through The Jungle" So off we went....not wanting to ever think that Someday Never Comes.

May I recycle one of mine?

From October 17, 2002…

Elvis Presley…

At the Heartbreak Hotel I met someone's Little Sister who I had a Burning Love for.  Suspicious Minds told me that Marie's the Name (of His Latest Flame).  But (Now & Then There's) A Fool Such as I who Don't know what they're talking about.  She's not a Hound Dog, but I Can't Help Falling in Love with her.  Way Down deep inside she makes me feel All Shook Up, so It's Now or Never that I would have to Surrender.  So I told her, Don't Be Cruel.  Later I found out she's the Devil in Disguise…

Okay, once again....time for the Guess Who (Really, That IS thier name!)

I once saw a Bus Rider named Albert Flasher who was SO NOT well endowed that he had  These Eyes as well as many others Laughing.http://www.anyfun.net/animation/gifs/animatedgif7.gif

When I left the bus I had no way home, so I hitched a ride with a very beautiful American Woman who rejected my advances for a time by saying No Sugar Tonight sweetheart. My heart was Broken as she said there was No Time for us and that she could only Share The Land with me in this Hand Me Down World. She told me "Hang Onto Your Life." Years went by and I saw her again.  She had with her a Star Baby and asked "Did You Miss Me Darlin'?" I asked her who the famous father of her baby was and she told me to Clap For The Wolfman!
