Rozalla, "Everybody's Free... to Feel Good".  And as they say, "if it feels good... the Repugnicans will put a measure on the ballot to make it illegal".

I've just arrived as "Shake You Down" fades out.  Had to go in to the Voice for a little while: We're transitioning from the SCOOP editing program and Quark XPress layout program to the In Copy editing and In Design layout programs (which means nothing to anyone here except Urth, I s'pose) and I needed to go in for some training.

And one month ago today, I was happy as a lark.  RIP, Eugene.

Just as I wish James Taylor would go back to being a junkie* so he can make good music, I wish Whitney would return to innocence so she can make good music.  Something yin and yang about that ...


* y'all know I'm just being hyperbolic for effect, right?

Almost every Whitney Houston song can be recast as an ode to drugs:

The Greatest Love Of All = The Greatest Drug Of All
If I Told You That = If I Sold You Crack
I'm Your Baby Tonight = I'm Your Junkie Tonight

and so forth.

P.S.  I'm going to pretend the "doodie bubble" never happened.  So should you.

Lionel Richie's "Hello" is the guiltiest of guilty pleasures for me.  It's so corny, and the video is so bad, yet I can't listen to it without smiling dumbly and singing along.

Miss Jackson if ya Nasty! "What Have You Done For Me Lately", EXACTLY the sort of song I was pining for yesterday when complaining about Dave's lack of (soul) imagination in mid-'80s sets.

BOS: Miss Janet, "What Have You Done For Me Lately."  I remember when this came out in 1985, thinking it sounded completely different from everything else on the radio.  In hindsight, it's not that different -- its minimalism on the refrain, yes, and the deadpan delivery that Jody Watley would soon claim as her own -- but it's still a remarkably vibrant listen.

Ah, "Get Up Offa That Thing," the wannabe-comeback single for JB that ended up causing him more headaches than triumph.  (For reasons I know not, he gave the songwriting credit to his young daughters Deanna and Yamma instead of to himself; years later, they sued him for the royalties.)
