In these troubled times we all could use something joyous to read, don't you think? Well, I've come up with a little idea. I'd really like it if people would write a little essay about a song that they love. Be it your "favorite" song or one that just means something to you, write up a little bit about why you love it.
I did this one a few weeks ago for "Battered Old Bird." I can make a little graphic for this endeavour and start a page just filled with people's missives.
What do you think? A good idea?
Posted by mikewolf at March 19, 2003 10:33 AMI've kind of drifted away from my music focus lately (I can hear your gasp of horror from here - don't worry, I'm sure it's just a phase), so I think this would be a good exercise for me. I will try to think of something. I can't promise that it won't be a Billy Joel song, but it could be Paul McCartney...he always makes me smile.

Actually, this could be a way of starting your own meme. You could get tons of random strangers sending you their bit of musical rapture. If you wanted to deal with all that.
Posted by: ssg on March 19, 2003 12:39 PMThat's totally what I'm going for, my dear. I want random peeps to convince me that I should love, I dunno, "Cheeseburger In Paradise" and my hipster co-horts to prattle on about some random tune but the Datsuns. Don't you think it would be fun? I'll get crackin' on it tonight. In the meantime, if you come up with something mail it to me at mike@mikewolf.net.

Posted by: Meredith on March 19, 2003 04:47 PMBy the way, after having it blared in my ear for the second night in a row, no one will ever convince me that Cheeseburger in Paradise is worthy of my notice. Of course I felt that way before being assaulted by it, but it's always nice to affirm my Parrothead bigotry.
Posted by: Meredith on March 19, 2003 09:42 PMCheeseburger in Paradise is not the best buffet song, I'll agree. But when the weather is warm and the sun is shining buffet is what I want and I want it loud (ear breaking loud).
