A little kid just comes back from the bathroom at a Perkins restaurant:
Dad: Did you go potty?
Kid: Yeah
Dad: Did you wash your hands?
Kid: Yeah
Dad: Do you love Jesus?
Kid: Yeah.
.... I don't know if he always asked the kid that, or if he thought
something might have happened in the toilet that would turn the kid against
the Lord.

That's okay, I do the same thing with my kids, only I substitute "the
Beatles" for "Jesus". Gotta keep them away from bad influences, y'know.
BTW, my daughter's best friend likes nothing but rap. So I asked her
(she's 5) what she thought of rap, and she told me that the voices just
sound "weird", and she likes the "cool" songs, but not most of them.
She made up her mind by herself. I'm so proud! :-)

I can't listen to the Beatles anymore. The music just reminds me of too many
people and things that aren't around anymore.
I bought George's album and Paul's live thing, but haven't felt like
listening. I think I just bought them to keep my collection complete.

I can totally relate.
During Christmas, I had a sorta emotional meltdown, and the soundtrack to
all that was Rolling Stones "40 Licks". I can't listen to "Wild Horses" any
more because it was in my car stereo and I listened to it on my way to the
liquor store to buy my first taste of alcohol since August.
Bad memories can destroy good music. There is no question about that. It's a
shame, Tony, that the Beatles' music conjures bad memories for you. I hope
that passes with time.

Oh how I know the feeling. Having a few belts was great escapism.

Think of it as a Rolling Stones version of the Beatles "1"- only it has two
CD's and doesn't necessarily have their greatest hits as much as a good
sampling of every era of their musical career.
Plus they're all remastered, and some of the songs sound so fresh. It has
Ruby Tuesday and She's A Rainbow, which represented their psychedelic era,
as well as the real old ones like "Satisfaction", and it jumps around to
Jumping Jack Flash and alot of their 80's and 90's output. Fantastic set!
It's a great introduction to what the Stones were all about.

Thanks. It was rough for awhile but I got over it. I'm a better man now
because of it anyway.

I like his work with The Police and I do like *some* of his solo work but he
does have an ego.

Me too. I hate the "lets be friends" thing. Never works. Best to move on to
greener pastures.

Yeah, 3 bottles of wine ought to do it!

Hey, if you could have an hour-long orgasm, wouldn't you have an ego
too? ;-)
Seriously, I'm a Sting fan myself... I think he's gotten lazy at times,
and I'm much more opt to putting 'Ten Summoner's Tales' on the player
than his latest, but I like a lot of the directions he's tried to push
himself, musically.
And the guy lives in a castle. How cool is that?

Ditto. And ditto.

It can be done, but it takes a certain "kind" of compatibility, one that
I've never experienced. I could be wrong of course, but I'd suspect that
the more emotional and heart-driven a person is (as opposed to head-
driven), the less likely such a transition could take place.
And Will, get rid of that word, "unfortunately". It's far better for
your spirit to listen to your heart. Your head (not yours specifically,
but everyone's) can't be trusted to lead you to happiness.

I've got a few of those. Most anything by Queen, especially "Bohemian
Rhapsody" is an absolute nada for me. Thanks to the same bit-uhh---
person, just about everything off Fleetwood Mac's green-covered greatest
hits album is out too. Though after having become acquainted with their
Peter Green era, I think some common sense plays into that too.

Not taking it along for the journey can get you in a hell of a lot of
trouble.

Nothing wrong with hearing the head's input. But, like the input of
another particular organ that likes to lead the way sometimes, one must
take its input with a grain (or perhaps an entire shaker) of salt.
