We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true.
I made a birthday cd, as is my birthday custom, and this year's selection included Judy Garland's Get Happy. I don't understand this song. For those of you who haven't heard it, it involves a zany Judy singing excitedly about .... the judgement day. Maybe the many years that I spent as a young, mulleted Anglican weren't as informative as I previously thought because I was under the impression that Judgement Day involved a lot of pestilence and burning and death from above, possibly at the robotic hands of THE TERMINATOR. Likewise, "Forget your troubles, come on get happy" is probably going to be a bit of a chore if you're BURNING ALIVE UNDER A PLAGUE OF PUS-FILLED, BUBBLING SORES. *
I also put Cryin' on there, which is a particularly awesome gem from the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack. If you listen to it, the entire Sovereign Family would entirely recommend closing your eyes and doing a dance move that kind of resembles humping the air. Trust me though, it looks classier than it sounds. Much classier. Ready for church classier.
If I could change my name to anything, I'd change it to Josephine. There are tons of awesome songs about girls named Josephine, one of which is done by the Wallflowers and is on my cd. There are some awesome songs about girls named Sarah, too, but they are only awesome if you've done about a mountain of coke and gone back in time to 1987 under the false impression that you've built your city on rock n' roll. I hate the Sara of Jefferson Starship fame. This one time, back in the 80s, Melissa's brother Dan started singing it to me and I freaked out, hopped the backyard fence and ran home crying. And then my brain exploded. I'm pretty lucky to be alive to tell the tale actually.
Years later I would discover the Bob Dylan Sarah song and I'd feel much better about things. I did put Like A Rolling Stone on my cd, although my current all time favourite Bob Dylan song is All Along the Watchtower.
All this blogging has made me tired and now I need a nap.
*I came so close to describing puss-filled as "pussy" you just don't even realize.

Don't forget "Subterranean Homesick Blues."
When Bob was angry, did he ever sing, "So hard to look at, so easy to define"?
