50


it's not that it passed me by, it didn't
it's just that I'm not enough of a muso to make an intelligent comment
.
and also, perhaps, the fact that everytime I saw an article about it I started humming the BVs to You Can't Hurry Love or Signed Sealed Delivered or River Deep, Mountain High or Ain't No Mountain High Enough or Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide or Rescue Me or I Heard It Thru The Grapevine or (actually, I think I'll stop now) (Stop In The Name Of Love!) (What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted?) and it took me back to my days in the band. . .

so to speak
but not literally. . .
.
it doesn't have to pass you by tho:
try this!
..
and me?
..
well, Sir Duke

was the first 7" single I ever bought. . .
. .
so that's my number one,
however I feel about the other songs
.

Man, what a bummer that those great songs are tainted for you. I could listen to them every day and never tire of any of them. In fact, I may just do that today...Motown theme. :-)

my daughter is making a list of all the things turning 50 this year...and Motown was at the top.

muso?
translation please.

Rimshot said...

if I may...

Muso...music aficionado. Someone who is VERY into music: so much so that they can tell you who sang backing vocals on Young Americans, etc.

Similar to "Sporto" if you've ever seen The Breakfast Club.

ah Rim...thank you kindly sir.

I was thinking along the lines of "muse"

which is rather silly considering where I am visiting....

I, Like The View said...

I would have quite liked being a muse. . .

*sings*

"...or would you rather be a muse?"

katherine. said...

<---wondering if Rim is singin' the Rubber Tree Plant song....

♫♪Would you like to swing on a star
carry moonbeams home in a jar
and be better off than you are♫♪
or would you rather be a mule

♫♪A mule is an animal with long funny ears
he kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak♫♪
he's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
and by the way if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule♫♪


:-)

I like that song.
Thinkin' I'll be hummin' it for a bit now!

High Hopes...
he had high hopes,
high apple pie,
in the sky
hopes....
