Tax Day for Friday

[mshray]

I might as well get one post in, I have a 10:15 chiropractor appointment.  So I'll hear the first song or three in the car driving over, but then during my heat & massage I'll be listening to atmospheric new age music.

I predict a lengthy Boz Scaggs track.  But if Dave does play it, remind yourselves that no matter how often it is misused this way, the word 'loan' remains a noun, and he really should be asking someone to "Lend Me A Dime".

-mshray the grammarian strikes again!

U tawk reel gud!

U tawk reel gud!

You use your tongue prettier than a 20 dollar whore!

Mongo only pawn... in game of life.

Edited to add: But, one of my fave lines?

The bitch was inventing the Candy-gram. I probably won't get credit for it, either

I don't know why- but in a sea of hilarious lines, that one moment where they try to justify a joke just kills me...

I assume Sunny Afternoon is the first cut?

No complaints so far, but I've got a weak spot for just about any Kinks song.

What the hell are you talking about?  (I know some of that comes from Blazing Saddles, but why is it here?)

Uh, sorry, Davefish. If you'll read Rod's post above it- you'll see I was riffing off something he said. He had been riffing off of something I said in response to something Mshray said.

[Beej]

So, am I the only one finishing his returns, like, right now?

[Alicat]

Me hate de taxman but me like dis years refund!

I'm going to Disneyland!
really.

I see.  I guess it's been too long since I saw it.  But what's that quotation about the candygram?  I know about "Candygram for Mongo", but the quote doesn't sound familial.

Boring set.  I really don't like that Robert Cray song.

[urth]

so far this is a pretty much by-the-book Tax day set: Kinks, the "Money" medley (Flying Lizard & Barrett Strong), Robert Cray, Randy Newman (Have Pity on the Working Man--at least it's a different Randy Newman song) and now here's that lengthy Boz Scaggs song with the bad grammar that Mark was pining for.

After Bart captures Mongo with the Candygram, the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) is congratulating bart on a job well done. Bart says something like "Oh, it was nothing- the bich was inventing the candygram! And I bet I won't get any credit for it, either."

I just liked how Mel Brooks addresses the fact that the candygram didn't exist in the Old West- even though the movie's filled with anarchronism 10 times worse (ie Nazis, Hollywood production numbers).

I really like the Boz song (rated it a 10 on RadioParadise), but somehow when you know it's coming, it's just not as statisfying.

BOS, every damn time.  One of my all time faves.  But you're right, it's even better when it's out of the blue.

It's why I listen to classic rock stations.  Sure, I have every Led Zeppelin recording ever made, but I still get a thrill every time "Since I've Been Loving You" is played out of the blue.  Hell, even "Stairway..." occasionally sounds fresh if it suddenly is on and I'm in the right mood.

Had to say this 10 times to myself before I parsed it correctly.  I kept thinking, "What bitch invented the Candygram?"
