I accept, but cannot see the Crowes. I must attend previous commitment with ball and chain.

BTW, where the hell are they playing? the City?

Of course it wasn't Nate, and I still think the transition was too abrupt.

Her youth, I think. The djs at the local AOR station when I was in high school always called it "Rocktober" when they were announcing concerts scheduled in October in their just-took-a-bong-hit smoky voices.

Hmmm. Now I am wondering if paigow is the kid sister of my friend Vince. Whoa, in a keanu-like way.

That makes me think of a story one of my co-workers once told me. His wife is from an ol-skool Eye-talian family from South Philly. While attending a gathering of some of her cousins (I think) my non-Italian friend heard some of the attendees refer to to their neighbors as Matsu-Christi. His later explained what it meant (with much embarassment).

Yeah, but after Nate died, Brenda didn't need Lisa to voice her doubts and guilt. Since Brenda knows that Nate loved Lisa, I never understood why Brenda "listened" to her, other than the fact that Maya was proof of Lisa's superiority as an incubator. Although Lisa had some great lines at the wedding. "Anonymous cock."

I wanted to reach through the TV and kill Lisa myself every time she whinily asked Nate to stop at Whole Foods to buy Dreft.

The Wheel. Such a metaphor for my life. It keeps turning; I can't stand still; I can't run away and I can't slow down...

I've even been struck by lightning* Thunder and I have yet to go head to head.

You know I can almost never cut lose from my demanding schedule. But I do have to be in the City in October. What weekend/weekday? I have to fix it so I can actually say hi one of these days.

*Actually, thats true... and I'm sure I'm repeating myself.

If it is any consolation, you became one of those people I hate a long time ago.

I guess that is probably not much consolation.

I always thought Rush better captured your disaffected, lost soul:

Subdivisions ---
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions ---
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

We're gonna need a montage (Montage)
A sports-training montage (Montage)

And just show a lot of things happenin' at once.
Remind everyone of what's goin' on. (What's goin' on?)
And with every shot, show a little improvement
To show it won't take too long
That's called a montage (Montage)
Even Rocky had a montage (Montage)

In any sport, if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You'll need a montage (Montage)
a simple little montage (Montage)

Always fade out (Montage) into a montage (Montage)
If you fade out it seems like a long time (Montage) has passed in a montage (Montage)

*sniff* I love that song. I also like the sad version of the theme song, when they sing "fuck yeah" so plaintively.

This is a phone in of the caliber that is a notch below your boyfriend, Wood. What has become of you?

Low Rent (and I mean low)
 
Since it has apparently been removed by the Craiglist police listed below is an ad for an apartment:

"Apt For Rent:
First of all, this is not a joke even though it sounds funny.
I have a home in Coney Island near the bay and near seagate where the basment ceiling is only 4' high due to the proximity to the beach. The dimensions are 20x31. It's a shame to let this space go to waste so I am offering to rent it to anyone who can fit. Obviously, I will not allow a normal sized person to rent it because that's just wrong. But a dwarf or little person would fit quite nicely. In addition, I am flexible on the rent if you are a circus dwarf or other perofmer and can entertain us during parties and other occasions. Use the Yahoo map to see the location because the Google map does not work."

When I think of PLF and Rush, I think of this:

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

waaaahh!!! Those poor maples.

Query
 
How young must a person be in order to plausibly assert that he or she has never heard the song The Things We Do For Love (by 10cc apparently, although I went through my life up until yesterday thinking it was the Doobies). You know, the "walking through the rain and the snow and there's nowhere to go and you're feeling like a part of you is dying..." song. Born sometime in the 80s maybe? I mean, you couldn't turn on an AM radio in the seventies without that song being on. Am I wrong here?

Can we ban people who claim not to know that song from posting here on the basis that they are not possibly old enough to be a lawyer?

How on earth could that be the Doobies? Its more Air Supply meets Jerry Rafferty.

Ha! A rake! Muttering!! Priceless. And so original.

I picture you as a lawyer in some second-tier market, gradually settling into the soft alchoholism of middle age, who has worn out his once-mildly-amusing absurdist/hipster doofus internet schtick and now can do nothing more than take feeble and pitifully unfunny potshots at other, more engaging and entertaining posters, without whose contributions he would have nothing whatsoever to use as raw material for his parasitic and vicious attacks. Close?

Its also gota kinda Neal Sedaka meets Bread thing going on. Squeeze is a preposterous notion as no way is tha band british. But it is just as preposterous to think that Michael McDonald sang that song. You guys are both way off base.
