Thread Name: Songs that no one likes but you
Subject: RE: Songs that no one likes but you
Jim Dixon - text-based flirting is basically like a chat-room thing. You get matched up with people according to your registered personal details. You then send messages back & forth. In my opinion it would be SO easy to identify vulnerable parties and then reel them in. Of course not many people have evil intentions, but it only takes one.... and you know how kids love texting? To my mind it was like giving children a loaded gun. If you have a quick trawl around the internet you'll find plenty of ads for this sort of service. I can't do anything to stop it existing, but I can refuse to build one. I had a lot of problems coming to terms with the fact that some of the management didn't feel the same way. Hence it all spilled out into a song.

As to Stand by Your Man - I actually mean that I love the song. I don't think its so bad its good - I actually think its a wonderful song in its own right. When I get good enough to carry it through I want to sing it completely straight & try to help rehabilitate it. Its an ambition of mine - peculiar though I know that to be.
Mind you I'd probably love your wife's overwrought version too!
