If your bank account matched your SS number? How much would you have in the bank?

Yoko does kinda prove the old saying that "love is blind."

...and apparently tone deaf.

It just goes on and on, my friend.

It's a time + association thing. Horns were used more in music than stringed instruments (read: guitars) for decades. You still hear a lot of horns in early rock and roll/adult contemporary songs from the 50s. A lot of the earlier, popular "pop" Christmas songs boomers and gen-x grew up hearing either had the sounds of the 40s or the 50s so they want to emulate that when making their own songs. After that, it just kind of gets associated with the Christmas sound.

You're hearing what you want to hear. You don't say you finish watching a video with “tears welling, silence, goosebumps” just because its "being played differently."

“What I had written in my diary was now superimposed on the life of this icon and sung so beautifully and emotionally. It was a reminder of what an important medium music is. Goosebumps up the spine. It really made sense. I thought: ‘What a powerful piece of art.’ I never got to meet Johnny, but I’m happy I contributed in the way I did. It wasn’t my song any more.”

If you don't see it, it's because you either don't want to or you don't understand what he's saying when he uses the word superimposed.

1.40 mark FROM TRENT'S OWN GODDAMNED MOUTH

Uh, yeah. He did.

Dumbass

Probably starts harder than you want, but should give you some idea where it goes from there:

Almost said

Trent himself said that after Johnny sang it, it wasn't his song anymore. It was Johnny's.

Just going to edit this and including a link so anyone who's interested can hear the full story.

Trent video commentary

Man or Astroman

When in doubt, look at the artist on Allmusic. They're usually pretty good with the appropriate label and offering decent suggestions of similar artists.

After reading this, I see no reason to make my own comment. The best answer is already taken.

Absolutely despised glam rock back in the day. Bubble gum pop melodies and shallow lyrics wrapped up in a bad boy disguise.

Loved Cinderella though. They had a lot of blues and soul influence the other bands were missing. Shame about the hairspray, it put their heads on the chopping block when grunge took over. Shame, they were really trying to pull away from the pack and do something different on Heatbreak Station.

I think Taylor is incredibly talented and despite what haters think, I believe she is a legitimately sweet and good human being. I also avoid her songs like the plague because they're so insanely catchy that even 30 seconds of exposure gives me an ear worm I can't get out of my head for weeks.

But really, I honestly do believe she represents the best of us no matter what her distractors say. Damn good kid.

Just like to say I love modern music and enjoy discovering new bands. I love how music is always changing.

That said, if a song has been written by a new group in the last 20 years that can match the imagery of Peter Gabriel's "Come talk to me," I haven't heard it yet.

Seminole Bingo by Warren Zevon. Outside of that, I can probably dig up some songs about bank robberies...

If you want the most for your money, take a day trip to Houston and hit Soundwaves, Cactus, Sound exchange and Half Price Books. Buy used and you can stock up quick. Cons - check the condition of the disk before buying and you're limited in selection to what they have at the time. Pros - really cheap and you can check out new groups you've never heard of for a low price.

If you want something specific - buy online. Plenty of places where you can buy used CDs cheap even after adding shipping and handling.

I've noticed our cat much prefers to hang out next to me while I listen to music down low while I work than by my wife while she's watching TV with people yelling and various explosions or fight sounds. When she's at work, he'll hang out on the couch but when she turns the TV on, he'd rather sit under my chair.

Most people who complain about music not being as good as it was in their day didn't even listen to the best groups of their time.

Pretty sure they're more likely to get another Woodstock '99 before you get another '69.
