This is part 2. The other one's just too long now.

How about that old blues song...I'M A MAN! M-A-N! MAN!!!!

How about that other piece of &^!!%$&$..."I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help that I love you!" (that's the chorus). These guys in a rock band next door to me once rehearsed it for 5 or 6 hours and nearly drove me mad. Who did that one, anyway? I know it used to be on the radio a lot.

Come on,leeneia! Be leenient!That was my favorite song when I was eight."Now they'll always be together in that Happy Hunting Ground".Come on!This is great stuff! Any song with a guy going "oo aah" through the whole thing PLUS a screaming jazz saxophone on the chorus has plunged through the bottom of the "bad" category right into greatness! Ranks right in there with "Please Mister Custer...I don't wanna go".

How about "They're Coming to Take Me Away (Ha Ha)"? Or "Let it all Hang Out"...

"It's rainin' inside a big brown moon
How's that mess ya Baby up leg
Eatin' a reuben sandwich with sauer kraut

Mbo, unless you're joking, which I seriously doubt, lighten the fuck up. If someone says they don't enjoy Tony Orlando, it's not a personal insult directed at you. Any time someone insults the pop tripe you apparently cherish, you throw a tantrum and call names. I've never seen anyone, me included, insult you for having 'bad' taste. Playful teasing, perhaps, but it's definately been in a friendly manner. You can tell when >I'm< joking, for instance, by my annoying use of emoticons. But even when someone's joking, you don't seem to care; you immediately compose something like: "Listen, bonehead, Debbie Gibson rocks! She came to town once and said we had well paved roads! None of your damned folk hippie losers ever did that! It made our millennium here in town!"

And so I'm not a slavish follower of the military, and don't take part in nationalistic displays. This makes me a 'knucklehead?'

I do think there were some aspects to the Gulf War that the West should not be too proud of...some of those having repercussions on American veterans as well as Middle Easterners. The Iraqui government is a vicious dictatorship, but the Iraqui people are about as good as people anywhere else, and many of them were victims of the war.
