I am officially done with current music. Not that I haven't been done with it for ahwile...but, this...2010... is the official date of my end of having ANYTHING to do with current music.

My father didn't like MY music. He hated the 'rock' stuff. Can't blame him...it wasn't his thing. My mother loved classics/standards...and thank God she made me love that music too. I used to get mad at my dad...but, I get it now. My love of jazz and standards are due to them and my upbringing...they actually taught me the love of class and talent!! I always tried to keep an open mind to cxurrent music - as we all change thru the years...but, I can't take it any longer.

I truly love classical music. The mere fact that I guess somehow I was born with an ability to discern quality and love classical, fine music...is a gift. It sis somehow born into me...I believe that.

So, I just went on msn...anbd saw the headlines which said eminem had 10 grammy noms. PLEASE...even tho I think eminem may be a step above some of the other rappers/hiphop/hipcrap whatever genre it is...you can forget about me ever respecting, caring or wanting to know about the grammys ever again.

This happens to be happening when I am watching Carole King and James Taylor on PBS...doing a concert. THEY are music, THEY are class acts...THEY are who I am. They are my life, my music.

I know our parents hated our music. But, really...the Beatles...compare that to the rap and hip/hop that is passed for music today. I am so grateful at times that I do not have children. I see now why people/kids today turn to country...even though I don't like that...it's way better than the alternative .. which is some of this rap/hip/hop/slop crap....

Give me my 60s, 70s,80s, even 90s music...00's suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(PS - Carole KING is a KING of pop music ...what a fabulous writer...my life is dedicated to this wonderful woman...)....

I know my love is alive

As Rick has his book out "LATE LATE AT NIGHT", I've been thinking more and more about his influence on this little soul.

I know my love is alive..................

I sure picked a bad time

To be in love...I'm in love...eo

I love Rick Springfield

When other men fail...
When they do what they will...
When it makes me feel ill...

I love Rick Springfield.

He makes me feel great
Never makes a mistake
I will never forsake...

I love Rick Springfield.

He never confuses.
He never abuses
Always amuses.

I love Rick Springfield.


He always is there...
to love and to share
and seems like he cares...

I love Rick Springfield.

He's heart and he's soul
there is no control
I'd give him my soul

I love Rick Springfield.

Other men let me down.
Other men are like clowns
Other men aren't profound.

I love Rick Springfield.

I've been used and denied.
I've been pushed aside.
I've been taken for a ride.

I need Rick Springfield.

If he would be my man
I'm his number one fan
I would do all I can

To be with Rick Springfield.

I know his married and such
But, that doesn't mean that much
At least not to us in the lurch...

Where's Rick Springfield?

This man is my dream.
I know he's probably not what he seems
Still it's better than real...

Where's Rick Springfield.

He's my love and my life
I will never be his wife
I just want a good time..

With Rick Springfield.

I just want one last time

With Rick Springfield.

He's the dream I have each night....

I love Rick Springfield...

I know my love is alive

I love when that look comes in your eyes...when we're all alone.
And it's much too late...for friends to come calling.
I'll disconnect the phone.

And I put on the radio
And I take her and I talk real slow
And I hold her tight...
And soon I'm dancing in the night...

Inside Sylvia...
Oh Sylvia
Yeah, Sylvia

I know my love is alive...
Inside Sylvia
Oh Sylvia
Yeah Sylvia

Ohhhhhh.....


Sometimes you get so crazy
And I know it's all in your mind
And right in the middle of the night...
You see just what I need.
And they say that love is blind.

And I hold you til the feelings come.
But, sometimes when the loving's done.
I see a scared little girl...afraid of the woman...

Inside Sylvia
Oh Sylvia
Yeah...Syvia

I know my love is alive
Inside Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia
Yeah...Sylvia

Ohhhh....

Though the world can rage and storm
There's still one hollow where I'm safe and warm...

It's when I'm inside Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia
Yeah...Sylvia


Oh...

Inside Syliva
Yeah...Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia


Ahhhh...

Inside Sylvia
Yeah..Sylvia
Ahhh...Sylvia

I know my love is alive...
Inside Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia
Ah...Sylvia

Ohhhh...

Inside Sylvia...
Ah...Sylvia
Oh..Sylvia

I know my love is alive...
Inside Sylvia
Ah Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia


ahhhhhh....

Google roogles

Ok...I just googled myself and up comes my blogs. There for all eternity to see...

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? I guess not if you blog about it.

Is life interesting? I think the reason I loved LA so much is because your life could mean something. I feel like no ones' lives mean anything in Colorado. I mean.... they mean things to their loved ones and to the people they know... but, to mean something to the world.... to life, to memories, to google.... you would have to be someone/something in LA.

I just feel that way...
