When A Line Of Lyrics Stands-Up And Screams “NOTICE ME!”

“Here Is The House…

…Where It All Happens…

…Those Tender Moments…

…Under This Roof…

…Body And Soul Come Together…

…As We Come Closer Together…

…And As It Happens…

…It Happens Here In This House…”

… …

“HERE IS THE HOUSE” Is One Of My All-Time Favorite (Lesser Known) Jams From DEPECHE MODE, And It’s Off Of Their Hit 1986 Album “BLACK CELEBRATION” !!!

… …

“…And I Feel Your Warmth…

…And It Feels Like Home…

…And There’s Someone…

…Calling On The Telephone…

…Let’s Say Home…

…It’s Cold Outside…

…And I Have So Much To Confide To You…

…With Or Without Words, I’ll Confide Everything. …”

… … … … … …

… …

The Biggest Reason I Love This Song…

…Odd As This May Seem…

…Is The Final Line Of Lyrics I’ve Presented Here To Y’all.

With Those Words Alone…

“…WITH OR WITHOUT WORDS, I’LL CONFIDE EVERYTHING…”

…I Was Sold On This Particular Song…

“HERE IS THE HOUSE“

by DEPECHE MODE

🙂       🙂

😀

Y’all Know Me.

Y’all Know I’m A Huge DEPECHE MODE Fanboy.

Y’all Have Seen Me Post Something Of Their Music Many A Time Before Now.

But I’ve Never Really Talked About One Simple Line Of Lyrical Brilliance (at least to me) Before.

“…WITH OR WITHOUT WORDS, I’LL CONFIDE EVERYTHING…”

…Honestly Says So Much.

It Resonates With Me.

Very Much So In Fact.

It’s The Basic Gist Of A Personal Life.

To ME…

“…WITH OR WITHOUT WORDS, I’LL CONFIDE EVERYTHING…”

…Is A Key Factor In The Game/Art Of Life.

It’s Something I’m Handily Horrible At, To Be Honest.

I Don’t Really Confide Much Of Anything…

…In Anyone…

…Ever.

I Have A Couple Key People In My World Who Know Enough About Me To Sink My Proverbial Ship.

And Those Are People I’d Trust…

…Not Only With My Words…

…But With My Life.

With A Couple Other People…

…I’d Confide A Few Things.

Things That Others Don’t Know…

…Or Couldn’t Know…

…But That Sincerely Couldn’t Harm Me Toooo Much If They Came To Light.

And That’s It.

The Rest Of My World Honestly Doesn’t Know Very Much About Me.

They Think They Do…

…But They’re Handily Mistaken.

I’ve Made Sure Of That.

But When It Comes To Life…

…There Are Other Ways To Confide In Someone.

And It Truly Does NOT Have To Be With Words.

It’s Done With Actions…

…Or, More Often, Inaction.

And I Think It’s That Way For The Bulk Of Civilization.

Period.

So I Think It Makes That Simple (yet brilliant) Line Of Lyrics Even More Special.

More Profound.

More Tangible.

Most Everyone Has Someone, Or Multiple Someones, They Confide In.

And They Do So In Their Own Ways.

Others Have No One They Truly Confide In.

Regardless…

…It Doesn’t Take Away The Power Contained In One Simple Line Of Lyrics.

It’s With Lines Such As These That Have Truly Made Me Love AND Appreciate A Band Like DEPECHE MODE.

Their Songs Are Loaded With Lyrical Bullets Such As This.

So Don’t Scoff At My Music, Kids.

I Don’t Just Enjoy The Pleasant/Pounding/Quirky/Odd’ish/Rhythmic Beats.

For ME…

…The Lyrics Are THE Important Part.

They Are What I’m Listening To.

Sure…

…The Beats Are Important…

…But It’s The Words That Sway Me…

…And Sell Me.

And So…

…I TAKE NOTICE.

A Rather Dark Song To Spread Halloween’ish Cheer: “FLY ON THE WINDSCREEN” by DEPECHE MODE (1986)

/\

<*>

<<<***>>>

<<<<<*****>>>>>

“Death Is Everywhere…

…There Are Flies On The Windscreen…

…For A Start…

…Reminding Us…

…We Could Be Torn Apart…

…Tonight…”

*** *** ***

“…Death Is Everywhere…

…There Are Lambs For The Slaughter…

…Waiting To Die…

…And I Can Sense…

…The Hour Slipping By…

…Tonight…”

*** *** ***

“…Come Here…

…Kiss Me…

…Now…

…Come Here…

…Kiss Me…

…Now. …”

“FLY ON THE WINDSCREEN” Is A Personal Favorite Jammy-Jam-Jam From The 1986 Album “BLACK CELEBRATION” By DEPECHE MODE !!!

<<<<<*****>>>>>

<<<***>>>

<*>

\/

Is It Odd Of Me To Say, My Peeps, I Actually Enjoy This Song To The Point Where  Makes Me Smile A Tad???

Good.

I Was Hoping Not.

Like I Said…

…It’s Rather Dark…

…Or…

…So The Lyrics May Lead One To Believe.

While I’m Sure That Presenting A “Dark”er’ish Jam Was Totally The Intentions Of The Band…

DEPECHE MODE

…I’m Not So Sure About The Whole Smiling A Tad Portion.

However…

…Music Is Supposed To Evoke An Emotional Response…

…And It’s Generally Always Meant To Make One Smile/Laugh/Cry/Reflect…

…Or To At Last Touch One In Some Way/Shape/Form.

Can We Agree There?!

GREAT.

Kinda Figured You’d Have My Back, My Peeps.

😉

The Album…

“BLACK CELEBRATION“

…Was Released In 1986…

…And Is A Very Dark Chapter For The Story That Is DEPECHE MODE, And It Proved To Be A Big Success For The Band.

It’s An Album I’ve Owned For Over A Decade…

…And One That Gets Plenty Of Frequent Playtime.

My Favorite Jam On The Album Is…

“BUT NOT TONIGHT“

…But…

“FLY ON THE WINDSCREEN“

…Is One Of The Very Best Cuts From This Rather Exceptional Song Collection.

While Later Album Entries Would Prove To Be Superior…

“BLACK CELEBRATION“

…Was DEPECHE MODE‘s Best Album To Date, Come 1986.

It’s An Album I Can Recommend To Y’all With My Head Held High.

Yes…

…It’s A Personal Favorite, Sure Sure…

…But There Are Many A Folk Out There Whom Truly Believe…

“BLACK CELEBRATION“

…To Be The Finest Entry In DEPECHE MODE‘s Discography.

Period.

As For The Jam Jammy Jam Jam…

“FLY ON THE WINDSCREEN“

…It Has Been Hailed As A Fan Favorite Since Its Initial Release…

…And Remains One To This Day.

So If You Get Bored, My Peeps…

…And You’re Looking For Something To Add To Ye Ole Collection…

…Might I Suggest…

“BLACK CELEBRATION“

…And…

…If You Don’t Want The Whole Album…

…At Least Give A Listen-To To…

“FLY ON THE WINDSCREEN“

😀

You’ll Be Thanking Me Afterward.

Or…

…Well…

…So I’m Hoping.

😉

And Just In-Case You Weren’t Aware…

…It’s FRIDAY!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!

A Song To Make ANYONE Smile (for a while): “TUFF ENUFF” by THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS (1986)

“I Would Walk Ten-Miles…

…On My Hands And Knees…

…Ain’t No Doubt About It, Baby…

…It’s You I Aim To Please…

…I’d Wrestle With A Lion…

…And A Grizzly Bear…

…It’s My Life, Baby…

…But I Don’t Care…“

*** *** ***

“TUFF ENUFF” Is The Title Song For The 1986 Album “TUFF ENUFF” By THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS !!!

*** *** ***

“…Ain’t That TUFF ENUFF…

…Ain’t That TUFF ENUFF…

…Ain’t That TUFF ENUFF…

…Ain’t That TUFF ENUFF…“

*** *** ***

“TUFF ENUFF” Was Also The Lead Song For The 1986 Motion Picture “TOUGH GUYS” Starring BURT LANCASTER And KIRK DOUGLAS !!!

*** *** ***

“…For You, Baby…

…I Would Swim The Sea…

…Nothing I’d Do For You…

…That’s Too Tuff For Me…

…I’d Put Out A Burning Building…

…With A Shovel And Dirt…

…And Not Even Worry About…

…Getting Hurt…“

*** *** ***

“TUFF ENUFF” Is ALSO A Jam On The Motion Picture Soundtrack For The 1986 Flick “GUNG HO” Starring MICHAEL KEATON And Directed By RON HOWARD !!!

*** *** ***

“…Ain’t That TUFF ENUFF…

…Ain’t That TUFF ENUFF…

…Ain’t That TUFF ENUFF…

…Ain’t That TUFF ENUFF…“

<<<*** *** ***>>>

<<** **>>

<*>

So, Yeah, My Peeps…

…I’ve Had This Little Number Playing Off-&-On In My Brain The Past Week…

…And I Finally Decided To Do Something About It.

“TUFF ENUFF“

by THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS

…Is One Of THE Most Catchy Songs Ever Written And Performed In The Annals Of Human History.

And While That’s Not A Bad Thing…

…It’s Really Not A Great Thing, Either.

Listen To It Once, And You’re Mentally HOOKED.

One Word;

INFECTIOUS

.Period.

So…

…I’m Doing TWO Things, At The Moment.

One…

…I’m Bloggin’ To Y’all.

Two…

…I’m Listening To The Damned Song On My MP3Player.

That’s Right, Kids…

…I’m Driving Myself Mad With The Power Of Catchy ’80s Music.

😀

I Think We Could Officially Stamp This One…

"80s Music Overload (but in a good way)"

😉

Don’t Get Me Wrong…

…It’s A Great Song, Fo SHO.

I’ve Just Heard It So Many MANY Times This Past Week.

Why I Didn’t Decide To Blog About It Sooner, I Haven’t The Foggiest.

Perhaps Bloggin’bout It Will Finally End The Reign Of Repeat In My Brain?!

Good Lord I Hope So.

If It Works-Out That Way…

…GREAT!!!

If It Doesn’t Work Out That Way…

…Well PLUGH!!!

For My Own Safety…

…And Sanity…

…Whatever Sanity I Have Left…

…I Sincerely Hope It Works-Out.

“TUFF ENUFF“

…Should Come Equipped With A Warning Label.

It Should Say Something Like…

"Warning: This Is A Great Song From The 1980's That You'll Love Love LOVE... ...Until You've Heard It Tooo Damned Many Times... ...Then It Kinda Eats At You... ...Forever... ...And Ever... Until It Doesn't Anymore... ...And Then The Cycle Repeats... ...So Goes The World."

…Or Something To That Effect.

😉

Anyway, My Peeps…

…I Do Hope You’re Enjoying The Morning, Thus Far.

I’m Super Tired, But Can’t Get Any Sleepin’ Done.

Hence WHY I’m Up So Early, Bloggin’bout Stuff Wit Y’all.

Could Be Worse, Right?!

RIGHT!!!

Catch You Cats And Kittens Later!!!

*… … *

*…*

Got Myself A Tad-Bit Of Sleep…

…And Even Now…

…At 3AM…

…I’m Functioning.

Well…

…Sort Of.

I’m Actually In A Pretty Damned Decent Mood.

I’m Not Really Sure WHY…

…I Just Know I AM.

Who’s Gonna Knock That?!

GREAT!!

MEEE NEEEITHER!!

I’ll Take Functioning AND The Pretty Damned Decent Mood ANY DAY!!

😀

Sooo…

…When I Awoke This Morning…

…All I Wanted To Do Was Jam To Some Primo-Quality-Tunage.

Cue MP3Player!

(*Cue MP3Player!!*)

The First Song Playing Was…

“CRYING“

by ROY ORBISON (featuring K.D. LANG)

…Which Is Honestly One Of The Most Beautiful Collaborations In Music History.

Period.

But…

…As I Listened Further Into The Realm That Is ROY…

…I Eventually Landed On This One…

“IN DREAMS“

😀

!!! !!! !!!

T’Is An ALL-TIME FAVE-FAVE, Fo SHO, My Peeps!

Plus, I Simply LOVE The Flick…

“BLUE VELVET“

…Even Though It’s A Tad Touched In The Head.

I Would Call It “Mental Headcase” Of A Flick.

🙂

Anyone Care To Debate That?!

GOOD.

I Didn’t Think So.

😉

Anyway…

“IN DREAMS“

…Is An Exceptional Tune That TOTALLY Deserves Your Sweet Sweet Lovin’!

It’s A Long-Term Personal Fave For Myself.

BRADLEY Simply LOVES His ROY ORBISON!!!

Do YOU Enjoy His Music???

I’m Asking Because I’m Damned Curious, To Say The Least.

Anyway Anyway…

I Shall Leave Y’all Be For Now.

Please, My Peeps, Try Your Best To Have A Good Day.

I’m Gonna Be Tryin’…

…Which I Do Believe Has Already Begun!

I Simply LOVE Tryin’!!

Don't YOU, My Peeps?!

SURE YOU  DO!!!

😀

“THE BEST” -Vs- “MY FAVORITE”: Episode II: “It’s All In The Reflexes.”

Howdy, Kids.

What’s Shakin’?

Yeah…

…Not Much Here, Either.

T’Is Another Of Those Mornings Where I’m Awake Way Too Damned Early.

It’s My Fault, Though.

Went To Bed Too Damned Early.

What’Ya’Gonna’Do, Ya Know?!

Exactly My Point!!

Anyway…

…I Digress.

Let’s Get To The Meat Of This Thing, Shall We?!

LETS!!

🙂

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

*** *** ***

In This Episode…

…I Wish To Cover A Couple Modern-Day Directors.

I’ll Begin With A Personal Favorite Of Mine…

…And Someone I Know Some Of You Really Enjoy…

JOHN CARPENTER

🙂

So…

…What’s JOHN CARPENTER‘s BEST Work?!

Well…

…There Are Two Schools Of Thought On This One.

Some Believe His BEST Work To Be…

“HALLOWEEN“

(1978)

…And It Is Hard To Scoff At That One.

I LOVE The Original…

“HALLOWEEN“

…Very VERY Much So.

The Other School…

…However…

…Would Say…

“THE THING“

(1982)

…Is…

“THE BEST“

…Of His Work.

That One Is Even Harder To Scoff At…

…At Least For ME…

…Because I’m Of That School.

I Think…

“THE THING“

…Is His BEST Work.

.Period.

BUT…

…Are Either Of Those Films…

“MY FAVORITE“

??? ???

No.

I Love Them Both Dearly…

…And Have Owned Copies Of Both (in one format or another) For The Past Two-Decades.

So What Is…

“MY FAVORITE“

???????

That Would Be…

“BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA“

(1986)

😀

Yes…

…I’m VERY Well Aware…

“BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA“

…Is An Inferior Film To Both…

“HALLOWEEN“

…And…

“THE THING“

…So You Don’t Have To Remind Me Of That Fact.

I’m With You, My Peeps.

I Am.

BUT…

“BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA“

…Is The Flick Attached To The Most Memories.

It’s The Film I Never Could Get Enough Of.

It’s The Film I Sit-Down To Watch With My Nephew When We Both Need A Bit Of Escapist Adventure.

It’s The Film I Had To Place A Special Order For While In The Navy Because It Sold-Out At The Video Store The First Day It Was Released.

No Foolies, My Peeps.

“HALLOWEEN“

???

LOVE IT!

🙂

“THE THING“

???

LOVE IT LOVE IT!

🙂

“BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA“

???

LOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH IT’S CRAZY!!!

😀

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

*** *** ***

*** *** ***

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

The Second Director I Wish To Cover Is Another Modern Fan Favorite…

WES CRAVEN

🙂

So What’s WES CRAVEN‘s BEST Work?

???

Well…

…Again…

…There Are Two Schools Of Thought At Play, Here.

Some Say It’s His Original Directorial Work…

“THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT“

(1972)

…And I Can Understand And AGREE With That Line Of Thought.

It IS A Truly Powerful Work, To Say The Least.

It’s Gritty.

It’s Nasty.

It’s So Damned Realistic You Feel Like You’re Watching A Snuff-Film.

It Would Get My Vote As His BEST.

The Other School Would Easily Say…

“A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET“

(1984)

…Is…

“THE BEST“

…Which Is Also Hard Not To Agree With.

“A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET“

…Is An Iconic Piece Of Work…

…Just Like JOHN CARPENTER‘s…

“HALLOWEEN“

…Both Of Which Have Spawned What Seems Like An Endless Stream Of Sequels.

.Period.

BUT BUT BUT…

…Are Either…

“THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT“

…Or…

“A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET“

“MY FAVORITE“

…Of His Works?

??? ??? ???

Nope.

That Honor Goes To…

…

…

…

“SWAMP THING“

(1982)

😀

Now Don’t Get To Laughing At Me So Soon!

I Do Admit…

…It’s An Odd Choice.

It’s Drastically Inferior To Both Of The Preceding Flicks…

…Sure Sure Sure…

…But Does That Change My Feeling???

NOT. IN. THE. SLIGHTEST.

.PERIOD.

“SWAMP THING“

…Has Been My Personal Favorite Since The Beginning.

It’s Another I’ve Owned (in one format or another) Since It’s Initial Release On VHS.

I Would Venture To Guess I’ve Seen…

“SWAMP THING“

…Perhaps…

…Oh…

…412 Times?!

Perhaps Even…

…Oh…

….4,012 Times?!

I Don’t Really Know.

I Just Know It’s A LOT A LOT A LOT!!!

“SWAMP THING“

…Was A Childhood Hero Of Mine…

…And He Remains So To This Very Day.

Next Time My Nephew Is Here With Me, I Plan To Bust-Out The…

“SWAMP THING“

…And Have Him Check-It-Out.

I Think It’s A Flick He’d Truly Get A Major Kick Out Of.

FO SHO, My Peeps!!!

😀

*** *** ***

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

Was That FUN For Y’all?!

I SURE HOPE SO!!!

It Was Fun For Me, Anyway!!!

😉

Please Try To Enjoy The Day, Kiddies.

Y’all Hang-In-There.

Take Care.

Be Good.

See Me Soon.

And Talk To Me Sooner.

L8r, Taters!!!

Songs That Make Me Smile: “TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN” by ALICE COOPER (1986)

You Have My Nephew To Blame For This One.

I’ve Been Spending A Lot Of Time With Him During His Stay Here…

…And He’s A Major Fan Of…

ALICE COOPER

!!! !!!! !!!

I Know, Right!

The Kid Cracks Me Up.

I’m Sitting Here With Him.

He’s Playing The 360…

("NINJA GAIDEN II")

…And I’m Watching Him Play It…

…All The While Jotting Down Notes…

(In LONG-HAND)

…For What I Wanted To Included In This Bloggin’ing Blog Post.

I Think Better On Paper.

Always Have.

So I Take My Notes Using…

…A PEN…

…And PAPER.

I Know, Right!

WILD CONCEPT!

😉

I’m Sure It’ll Catch On Big After This New “World Wide Web” Thingy Stops Working.

(hehehe)

ANNNNNNNYWAY…

…Moving On, Moving On.

So When I’m With The Nephew…

…And He’s Playing His Games…

…I Just Get To Watch.

Every Now And Then He Lets Me Play…

…Though He Usually Ends Up Frustrated With My Lack Of Skills.

Then He Suggests I Just “Drop-Out” Of The Game And Let Him Continue Onward…

…Alone…

…With Me WATCHING Him Do It.

(HAHAHAHA)

Uncle Brad’s Failing Is His Stomach.

All The Fast Movements On The Screen…

…And All The Colors…

…And The Shakynessness That Goes On…

…It Literally Makes Me NAUSEOUS.

Uncle Brad Can Get Very Dizzy AND Sick-To-His-Stomach At Times.

BUT…

…I Still Sit With Him…

…And Watch Him Play…

…And I Wouldn’t Have It Any Other Way.

So…

…Today…

…Is…

“TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN“

by

ALICE COOPER

!!! !!!! !!!

It Played During My Little Brainstorming Session…

…And So…

…Here We Are.

😀   <—See Me Smiling!

🙂   <—And There!

😉   <—And Even A WINKING SMILE!

Yeah.

It Put Me In A Good Mood.

I Haven’t Felt Good All Day…

…BUT…

…Hearing That Song…

…Knowing It’s One Of Ari’s Favorites…

…And Watching Him Have Fun…

…I Do Feel A Bit Better.

That’s PERFECT!

And Since I’m Now In Trouble With Him Because I’m Taking A Break To Work This Up…

…I’m Going To Finish-Up…

…Publish…

…And Go WATCH More “NINJA GAIDEN II” !!!

Enjoy Your Day, My Peeps.

Hope This Helps.

The Song Stuck In My Head: “OH L’AMOUR” by ERASURE (1986)

“…Looking For You…

…You Were Looking For Me…

…Always Reaching For You…

…You Were Too Blind To See…

…Oh, Love Of My Heart…

…Why Leave Me Alone…

…I’m Falling Apart…

…No Good On My Own…“

…

“OH L’AMOUR” Is My Favorite Song Off Of The Album “WONDERLAND“ By ERASURE (1986)

…

“…Oh L’Amour…

…Broke My Heart…

…Now I’m Aching For You…

…Mon Amour…

…What’s A Boy In Love Supposed To Do? …“

…

The “OH L’AMOUR” Single Album By ERASURE (1986)

…

Since The Nephew Remains Asleep…

…I Figured I Had Time To Crank This One Out.

I’ve Had This Song…

“OH L’AMOUR“

by ERASURE

…Stuck In My Brain Alllllll Weekend.

So Now, I’m Trying To Do Something About It.

ERASURE

…To ME…

…Is A Very VERY Underrated Musical Group…

…And I’m Saddened They’re Not More Popular Than They Actually Are.

I’d Characterize Their Music As Being Music That Deserves Your Love…

…And With Songs Like This One…

“OH L’AMOUR“

…It’s Very Hard Not To Love Them.

Other Notable Numbers Include…

“VICTIM OF LOVE“

“CHAINS OF LOVE“

“STOP!“

“ALWAYS“

…All Of Which I’m Very Sure MOST Of Y’all Have Never Ever Heard Of.

A Few Of You, However, Have Had The Privileged Of Enjoying Their Sounds…

…And Some Of You I Already Know Have Seen Them Live In Concert.

I Would LOVE To See…

ERASURE

…Work.

I Don’t Get To Go To Many Quality Shows…

…But That’s Just A Problem With My Geography.

Living In Southern Illinois…

…It Ain’t Easy To Find Shows Of Any Real Quality.

I’ve Seen A Slim Few Great Acts Around Here.

ANYWAY…

…This Song…

“OH L’AMOUR“

…Has Been My Song Of Choice These Past Couple Days.

In Fact…

…I’m Listening To It As I Type This.

It’s Really A Beautiful…

…Enjoyable…

…Quirky Little Number.

Just Be Careful, Kiddies.

It’s A TOTALLY ADDICTIVE Tune.

Don’t Believe Me?

Try It.

Give It A Go.

Give It The Ole College Try.

I Swear…

…You’ll Hear It Once…

…And You’ll Wanna Hear It Again…

…And That Should Be Just Enough To Turn On The Ole Brain And It’ll Straight-Up Tell You…

"WHOA! I'm In Lust Lust LUST With This Song! Let's Hear It Again!!!"

Like I Said, My Peeps…

…If You’re Going To Try-Out Some New Tunes…

…And You Need A New Band To Focus On At The Time…

…I Say Go With…

ERASURE

…Hands Down AND Fo SHO!!!

Trust Me…

…You Could Do Much MUCH Worse.

The Song Stuck In My Head: “I WANNA GO BACK” by EDDIE MONEY (1986)

“I…

…Was Listenin’ To The Radio…

…I Heard A Song…

…Remindin’ Me Of Long Ago…

…Back Then I Thought…

…That Things Were Never Gonna Change…

…It Used To Be…

…That I Never Had To Feel The Pain…

…I Know Now…

…That Things Will Never Be The Same Now…“

… … …

“I WANNA GO BACK” Was A Hit Single For EDDIE MONEY In 1986

… … …

“…I WANNA GO BACK…

…And Do It All Over…

…But I Can’t Go Back…

…I Know…

…I WANNA GO BACK…

…’Cause I’m Feelin’ So Much Older…

…But I Can’t Go Back…

…I Know…

…Oh No. …“

… … …

“I WANNA GO BACK” Is Also Included On EDDIE MONEY‘s Greatest Hits Album “SOUND OF MONEY“

<><><><>….<><><><>….<><><><>

<><><>…<><><>

<><><>

I’m Gonna Warn You Now, My Peeps…

…This Song…

“I WANNA GO BACK“

by EDDIE MONEY

…Is Irritatingly Infectious.

.Period.

It’s One Of Those Songs You Hear And You’re Like…

"Oh Jeez! It's That Damned EDDIE MONEY Song! I'll Be Humming It For A Frickin' WEEK!"

And That Would Be A Very True Assessment Of The Situation.

Don’t Get Me Wrong…

…I Consider EDDIE MONEY To Be One Of My Personal Guilty Pleasures.

I Don’t Know A Lot Of Folks Who Like/Enjoy His Music, These Days.

I Do Remember Being In BREMERTON, WASHINGTON In 1999 When EDDIE MONEY Had A Concert There For The Sailors.

Tickets For The Event???

$1

.Period.

That’s Right, My Peeps.

A LIVE EDDIE MONEY CONCERT…

…For $1.

We Even Had A Little Song Going Around.

"I'VE GOT TWO-TICKETS FOR TWO-BUCKS..."

Oh Yeah…

…We’re Talking HIGH CLASS, Fo SHO!

Anyway…

…I Heard This Little Number…

“I WANNA GO BACK“

…During My Morning Walk.

I’m Sorry To Say It…

…But I Have Yet To Expel It From My Conscious Mind.

😕

ALLLLLLL DAAAAAAAY LOOOOOOONG…

…I’ve Been Walking About The House Singing It To Myself.

Sometimes Out-Loud…

…Sometimes It’s Part Of My Inner-Dialogue.

Regardless Of How It’s Happening…

…The Point Is…

…IT’S HAPPENING!!!

EDDIE MONEY

…Is…

…TRULY…

…MADLY…

…DEEPLY…

…STUCK IN MY HEAD!!!

However…

…I Ain’t Gonna Bitch About It Tooooooo Much.

I Mean, Who Would Listen?

And Even If I Found Someone To Listen…

…Would They Give A Rats Ass???

NOPE.

NOT. AT. ALL. FO. SHO.

They Just Wouldn’t Want Me Singing It While I Was In Their Presence.

WHY?!?

Because, My Silly Peeps, Then THEY Would Start SINGING ALONG TOO!!!

Like I Said…

…It’s Irritatingly Infectious.

Lucky For Me, Though…

…I Do So Enjoy Some EDDIE MONEY From Time To Time.

Today…

…It’s Simply Being Forced Upon Me…

…By Me!

When There’s No-One To Blame But One’s Self…

…All You Can Do Is Stay Calm…

…Stay Cool…

…And Enjoy It While It Lasts.

Then You Just Pray It Doesn’t Last Tooo Damned Looong.

😉

Am I Right, My Peeps?!?

I’m Pretty Sure I’m Right.

Right???

RIGHT!!!

😀

Random Movie Mention: “GAME 6” (2005)

Y’all Know I’m Always Game For A Good Baseball Movie.

“GAME 6“

…Starring…

MICHAEL KEATON

GRIFFIN DUNNE

…And…

ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

…However…

…Is A Bit Different From What I’m Used To.

And That’s Not Necessarily A Bad Thing.

I Do So Enjoy It When Someone Shakes-Up The Mold Of What One Might Be Expecting…

…Delivering Something Quirky…

…Something Off-Beat…

…Something Pretty Damned Original.

MICHAEL KEATON

…Is A Playwright.

His Latest Show Is Just Opening On BROADWAY…

…And It Just So Happens To Be Opening The Week Of The 1986 WORLD SERIES!

The 1986 WORLD SERIES Was A Hard-Fought Battle Between…

The NEW YORK METS

…And…

The BOSTON RED SOX

…And The Events of This Film Take Place The Day/Night Of…

…Yep…

GAME 6

…Which Was The Pivotal Game Of The Entire Series!

KEATON‘s Character “NICKY ROGAN” Is A Die-Hard Fan Of The RED SOX…

…And He’s Obsessing A Bit.

The RED SOX Appear To Be On The Brink Of Finally Winning The WORLD SERIES For The First Time Since 1918…

…But “NICKY” Can’t Help But Feel Something Horrid Is Going To Happen…

…Both To His RED SOX And His New Play.

He Expects His SOX To Lose.

He Expects His Play To Be Lampooned And Fail.

He’s Just Not A Positive Thinker, To Say The Least.

We Already Know The SOX Would Go On To Lose GAME 6 Of The WORLD SERIES…

(and eventually the 7TH Game, also)

…But What’s Going To Happen With His Play???

I Suppose You’re Just Going To Have To Watch The Flick To Find Out!!!

😉

While…

“GAME 6“

…Is Not My Favorite Baseball-Themed Flick…

…It Really Was A Joy To Kick-It-Back And Watch It.

As I Said Before…

…It’s Quirky…

…It’s Off-Beat…

…And It’s Pretty Damned Original.

For Fans Of Flicks That Try To Turn A Classic Subject/Theme Into Something NEW…

…I Can Easily Recommend This Little Number.

Having Always Been A Major League Fan Of…

MICHAEL KEATON

(still my favorite BATMAN ever)

…I Went Into This Flick Not Knowing What To Think/Expect, But I Was Hopeful.

Once It Was Over…

…I Gave It A Day…

…Then I Watched It Again.

The Repeat Viewing Only Confirmed To Me What I’d Originally Thought.

I LIKED IT…

…And…

…I’D WATCH IT AGAIN!!!

.Period.

What More Could I Ask For, Ya Know?!?

The Flick Did What It Was Supposed To Do.

That’s Good Enough For ME.

Is That Good Enough For YOU, Also?!?

I Should Hope So!!!
