Ah...The Power of The Easy Listening Rock Station

Isn't it funny how, as an adult, you hear songs from your youth and you finally understand what the singer is singing? Lo, these many years I have thought that Kenny Roger's wife left him with "four hundred children and a crop in the field". I remember as a child thinking, "Run, Lucille, run!" I've also come to realize that Steve Miller wasn't singing "Big Ol' Jed had a light on" and nobody was EVER "blinded by the light...wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night."

City Girls Just Seem To Find Out Early...

A friend of mine was just posting the lyrics to "Your Lyin' Eyes" by the Eagles on her Facebook page...and it got me to thinking. You know, that whole "City girls just seem to find out early, how to open doors with just a smile" line used to give me a complex. What was I, about 7 when that song came out? Well, and I swear to God I did this, I used to sit on the bed and smile at my doorknob to see if I could make it open. And then I remember being REALLY upset that we lived in the country...because I couldn't do it and the CITY girls were learning how! Frickin' city girls...they get ALL the advantages! "Maybe I'm just not pretty enough" I remember saying to myself...at age 7...already with a complex...about not being pretty enough...nor telekinetic. Frickin' Eagles! And these guys had the balls to charge $150+ per ticket a few years ago. Sh*t, I paid more than that in therapy! I AM PRETTY ENOUGH GLEN FRYE AND DON HENLEY! DO YOU HEAR ME, YOU JACKHOLES? I AM PRETTY ENOUGH!
