Over, Under, Sideways, Down - The Yardbirds

IMO it was a mistake to expect priests and nuns to remain celibate and deny one of our strongest drives. You get a lot less of this sort of behavior with religions that don't prohibit s-e-x for it's clergy. Come on auto censors, the word ***** is written on my driver's license and just about every form I've filled out.

Torpedo teats were fashionable back then.

Never argue with an idiot. They pull you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I do remember a priest telling us that if after urinating "if you shake it more than 3 times, you're playing with it." Reading what has been in the news in the last few years, was he jealous? Anyway, I'm glad I'm got out of Catholic school unmolested by a priest. The nuns inflicted both physical and mental pain on most of us. I think I got a good education there, but there was a heavy price to pay.

Therapy = healing Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye

Another great performance of a different song but with the same title. Hurt - Timi Yuro

Good one Craig! It took about 5 seconds for me to get. I had to get passed "Premium Water Enhancer". That phrase was funny enough, then the pun hit me at Real Tea. Notes

It's a religion with an ESC key, but a priest holds the keyboard. Notes

This song opened my eyes as to what new things (to me) can be done with a rhythm guitar by choking the strings. Guitar players probably already knew this, but at the time I was a sax player who occasionally played conventional rhythm in a band on the few songs that the songwriter didn't have the ultimate wisdom to add a sax part. Funk #49 - James Gang

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I said, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask."

Runaway - Bonnie Raitt A nicer take on the much older Del Shannon song

I went to Catholic school until the 6th grade. Those nuns scare the bejesus out of me

I have the White Album on vinyl. I always thought if they edited out some of the songs it would have made a great single album A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum (I never could figure out what they were singing about and the words don't help )

It came in a mailer as the last page in a house insurance renewal package. It says "This Page Intentionally Left Blank". Does it look blank to you??? I doesn't look blank to me. It has printing on it. Should I trust these people with my house insurance?

A song with a Halloween title that isn't a Haloween song Eyes Without A Face - Billy Idol I saw him perform at one of those outdoor festivals after the punk era and he was quite versatile, covering his punk stuff and some other genres very well.

We had a stray cat that found us. It was getting skinnier and skinnier so we decided to feed it. We had him neutered, de-wormed and vaccinated and kept him as an outdoor-indoor cat. We put a pet door in the porch so he could come and go as he pleased. We put him out at night and when we arose in the morning, he'd come though the pet door and wait for us to open the doors to the porch. He liked everybody, visitors, neighbors, repair persons, or anyone else who came to the house would find him rubbing on their legs. He'd even come when called -- most of the time. When we were home, he was a lap cat. He would jump on my lap purring, rub his cheeks against my beard to 'claim' me as his own, and often bite and tug at my beard, never the skin while purring. If I was at my desk using the computer he would jump on my lap, look at the thin center drawer, and look at me. I knew what he wanted, I'd pull the drawer out enough so that he wouldn't slide off my lap, and then he would relax, turn his head upside down and go to sleep. Years later he caught feline leukemia and we had him euthanized. When we came back my neighbor who I was giving free sax lessons to played "Unforgettable" and it actually brought a tear to my eye. (BTW my neighbor moved to New Orleans and ended up playing in a band a Jazz Fest a few times - I'm proud of her.) I buried him under an oak tree sapling, the tree is big now, and I still sometimes say "Hi Rodney" when I'm back there. We don't have pets because we never know when we are going to be gone. Leilani's mom was still alive then and she used to come feed him when we were gone. If I ever decide to settle down, I might get another pet. Probably a cat. As much as I love dogs, they are too high maintenance for me. Notes

Traveller In Time - Uriah Heep

Halloween Spooks - Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

Ride Like The Wind - Christopher Cross (The studio musicians did a great job on this cut)

Another song with a Halloween inspired title.... Devil's Gun - C.J.& Co. I used to play this when I was in a disco band. It was one of the bright spots in a dark musical era.
