About This Blog :
Movies, music, pop culture. With maybe an occasional personal ramble.


This blog, though not expressly friends only, is friends only more often than not. Quite a few personal entries will be friends locked. So LJ users, if you want to be added and able to read everything, just comment or sign the guestbook to let me know you've done so.

Do know that I may not always add you back. But may be persuaded to if you're nice. And offer cookies.

I tend to like to sometimes post surveys and quizzes that I find particularly amusing. And memes are fun. Particularly when there isn't really anything interesting to write about at that moment and I want to post. I try not to get overly annoying with the quizzes though. If I do, feel free to poke me and let me know.

I tend to just be random in my posting. Nothing too heavy or overly personal, my paper journal is for that, and just for me. I may post here about news headlines that grab me, some family stuff, things I'm obsessing over at the moment, even work rants. See my LJ interests for more of my favorites and loves.

Commenting is welcome, and I do allow anonymous comments. However, anonymous comments are screened and will NOT be unscreened and show up until I approve them.

Top Five On Friday @ The Music Memoirs

Top 5 Rock Couples (In this case where both parts of a couple are in the music industry)

Oh that little caveat makes this a bit trickier! Not in any necessary order:

1. Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa.



They seem pretty solid and still a great couple after this many years.

2. Paul and Linda McCartney.



Can't not include them. Theirs was a great love story.

3. Johnny Cash and June Carter.



Their story is rockier than the mountains but their love was just as strong.
When she died, Johnny didn't last much more to this Earth without her.

4. Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani.



I just have always liked them together.
Gwen of course is the lead singer of No Doubt and Gavin fronts the band Bush.

5. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.



Sharon is and has been Ozzy's manager for years.
I honestly believe Sharon completes Ozzy... he adores her, and she him.

It's Independence Day this Saturday in the US..so here's a little meme with an American twist.

What is your favorite patriotic song?

I've always loved "America The Beautiful".



O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea! Overlaid pictures representing America
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.

America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.


What song says "Freedom" better than any others?

God Bless The U.S.A. - Lee Greenwood.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.


What albums do you want with you at a picnic?

I'd have a great playlist geared up of songs including those mentioned above, basically. But if I were to choose entire albums, I would pick artists like Springsteen, Mellencamp or Petty... typically American artists and bands.

I'm usually listening to my WinAmp/iTunes library. But Last.FM is where you'll usually see most of my musical activity.
