it's "cause I'm".  Don't read a '90s expression into a '70s lyric.  But see my related post.

When drugs are legal, do you think they'll be advertised like pharmaceuticals (a la Levitra, Viagra, et al)?  Or like breakfast cereals?

Speaking of bitchiness, Boy George has called Madonna a "Homophobic hypocrite" for practicing Kaballah. I didn't know this but Kaballah apparently considers homosexuality "a disease".  Considering the hoo-hah over Donna Summer's long-ago alleged "Adam & Steve" comment, how it is nobody's called Madge on the carpet until now?

Yeah, thanks for reminding me.  The Honeycomb "Yeah Yeah Yeah" ads in the '80s were horrifying, as if the Krofft Superstars had switched their drug of choice from LSD to PCP.  Nightmare-worthy.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who remembers them. i can hear that big, gruff voice singing, "IT'S NOT SMALL!!!" that voice would kill you if you didn't eat honeycomb cereal.

i never ate it. maybe that's why.

Because people really didn't talk about this stuff then.  Remember they didn't know what Lou Reed meant when "She never lost her head even when she was giving head." Nor why Paul Simon had to wash his face after making love to Cecilia.

Dave has played "Give Me Love" (and "Sugar Pie Guy" too).  But I'd request "This Song", "Crackerbox Palace" or "Ding Dong".

Second time in a week hearing "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)."  Methinks a few people are getting excited about the upcoming Raspberries reunion tour dates.  John Waite should be touring with them instead of sharing a relic bill with Dennis DeYoung and Toto.

Elton John - The Bitch is Back
Wet Willie - Keep on Smilin'
William Devaughn - Be Thankful For What You Got
Eric Clapton - Motherless Children
The Jones - Sugar Pie Guy
George Harrison - Dark Horse
Bonnie Raitt - That Song About the Midway
Raspberries - Overnight Sensation
Barry White - Your're the First, the Last,  My Everything
Jackson Browne - For a Dancer

Before I read them, I can hear whining about Jackson Browne; we'll see.  I think this is a great song.

Just finished my Saturday morning essay, and listened to the end of 10@10 replay, ending with "For a Dancer."  It's hard to imagine why anyone can't relate to this song, about losing a close friend to the dance of death. It just goes to show, different strokes.  It was really good to hear it today for me.
