I don't know, Lunatic Fringe is pretty good song. It reminds of Vision Quest. And of course Vision Quest reminds me of that scene where we see the silhouette of Linda Fiorentino raising her hips so that Matt Modine can remove her underwear more easily. Nothing's sexier to a fifteen year old boy than the "hip raise".

The fact that you may like him and his voice conjures up images that made you horny at 15 does not make him any less of an embarrassment. Millions of your fellow country people love Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Alanis Morrisette, Bryan Adams, Avril Levigne, Barenaked Ladies - need I go on.

Moving on to Canadian singers who don't totally suck (possibly a short list), I fondly recall my Bruce Cockburn phase. If I had a rocket launcher... At least I think he is Canadian. If not, my list is even shorter...

I hate Bruce Cockburn, who is Canadian.

My father subjected us to his music during many a Sunday brunch.

In fact, I cannot name a single song because I have repressed the actual memories.

And when did she dump her husband for young Abe Lincoln?

At the time, I was into speed metal a la [early] Metallica, Exciter, [early] Anthrax and Exodus, until listening to Slayer's "Hell Awaits" while drinking cheap Gallo port caused me to branch out into death/black Metal like Celtic Frost, Venom and Possessed - until I looked around me at concerts I realized that these buffoons actually believed that carving up a Perdue chicken on the LIRR tracks might cause 'old Scratch to actually appear - so I bought a skateboard, painted a NYHC on the back of my cutoff denim vest and became a skate punk listening to Agnostic Front, Leeway, Cro-Mags, Black Flag, All, etc. - some point around 1987, still not sure how, trading in said vest and my "Crippled Children Suck" LP for a TieDye, a scratched copy of "Blues for Allah" and a hash brownie, but I digress.

But to go back to hair metal, I recently burned a CD for a friend comprised of Tesla, Poison, Zebra, Warrant, White Lion, Sister, the Crue, Great White, Skid Row and - last but not least - Kix. And trust me, all who hear it want a copy.

This explains your underwear choice.

Her big chin is too bony to support the Skeletor look she's gotten. Maybe being knocked up again will fill her face out a bit.

Odd Sunday brunch selection. Perhaps your father is insane?

We didn't do Sunday brunch, but if we had, my father would have most likely selected The Kingston Trio or Harry Chapin. My mom would have gone for Arlo Gutherie, Pete Seeger or opera.

I thought the problem was more closely related to her hair. THe cut is awful and I dont think the color is owkring for her either. I am trying to picutre the face with her hair circa Cruel Intentions but cant do it. Looks like a idfferent person almost. She isnt aging well.

Bruce Cockburn (avec guitar) visited my highschool English class once (friend of the teacher). You don't know what nasty is until you've seen those teeth up close (maybe he has had them fixed by now, I don't know). It was around Christmas - I remember doing an Adeste Fidelis sing along.

She's only 27. It's not aging so much as being too thin, not loving her husband (gay, NTTAWWT), and as you point out, having her colorist and stylist screw up.

I sympathize on the hair thing right now. Big time. I fucking hate hair salons, especially in DC.

How about "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band? And I have many, many more.

That was a flat out horrible era for songs. The early to mid-70's with the exception of what certain groups that carried on from the 60's, like the Stones, the Who and the Kinks were doing, was a vast wasteland of overproduced corporate bullshit rock, along with the happy balladeer Jims (Croce and Taylor, though JT was pretty strung out at the time) and some really bad crossover country (Kenny Rogers and Charlie Rich or Convoyyyyy!, anyone?).

I was just a kid, but I remember suffering through what I consider was the death-knell of AM radio. Please don't remind me again.

Upon further review, it also reminds me of perhaps the worst, and certainly the longest song, ever. American Pie (The Day the Music Died) by Don McLean. How anybody could like that piece of shit is beyond me.

Oh come on. Deep down, you're not just a little bit sentimental for "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves"?

Biggest nightmare of the early 70s was the Carpenters. Schmaltzy, horrible...anyone combining an orchestra with pop music should've been barred from the airwaves...

And you can go to hell for unaccountably putting Captain and Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" in my head.

I had not heard that Ryan Phillipe was gay but he certainly is pretty enough to be. Is this what the "cheating " in the article refrs to? and why Reese could not get pregnant? But what gay man ends up in a shotgun wedding?

Who is your hair salon? Hopefully they didnt give you a mullet a la Reese

Well, duh.

When I was a young child, we listened to early Bonnie Raitt, the Band, Orleans, Poco, and a lot of obscure folk and blues I can no longer recall.

For the most part is was good, but there are only so many times you can listen to it over brunch or on the water without wanting to kill everyone associated with the project.

As I got older, my mother would bring Motown tapes on our sails for a brief respite, but we were still deep in my father's extensive collection.

The invention of the walkman made sunday mornings much more pleasant so I could listen to the Femmes and the Dead Kennedys and all the other stuff my uncle sent from college and ls.

You have no one to blame yourself for not having the mental fortitude to fight off your inner demons.

How has any song ever written by Gloria Estefan not been mentioned?

The rhythm is NOT going to fucking get me.
