My Favorite Songs 42

He Said ; Edie Brickell & New Bohemians ; Ghost of a Dog ; 1990

Despite the popularity of their first single What I Am, this is the first song I ever heard from this band and their extremely talented singer-songwriter. I was a wee little lad, staying up past my bedtime on a Saturday night, sneaking into the livingroom to watch Saturday Night Live; this band was the musical guest. I immediately fell in love with the song, as I was pining for the so-callled love of my life at the time (which I was as wrong about as 2+2 is 5), and so began my love affair with anything and everything to do with Edie Brickell. She even got me into Paul Simon's music later in life. This song and her music will forever be my first choice when I need a calming, soothing voice to twill beautifully crafted melodies in my ear.

Bad Conversation Topics When Surrounded by Throwable Objects 23

TOPIC: How do people in this world still question love in all its forms?

I could write a thousand books on this subject, but I'd probably only get through the first few pages of the first one before I'd be disgusted with the world. Love is love, people. No matter who you are, no matter what you are. Why do people who try to stop other people from being themselves think they are doing something better for the world? Aren't they just making the world more confrontational? Don't they realize that by trying to extinguish these flames in others, they only create worse conflagrations? See, I'm already disgusted. 

Rock on, Uncle Davids.
