Today's Happy Hour Soundtrack

We're recently in from Cannon Airplane Patch, where we went to do the usual, customary, and quite reasonable first-of-the-month chores, which is to say pick up the monthly meds, beer, and foodstuffs.  We heard this tune by Dan Fogelberg on our way out:


Darker, darker
Don't let her talk her way into you
Lonely, lonely
You know she's only no good for you
Darker, darker
Don't let her talk her way into you
Lonely, lonely
You know she's only no good for you
About those lyrics:  just remember we don't choose love, love chooses US.  Is all.  It's prolly been 15 years, or more, since I last heard this tune.  I was sufficiently surprised (a) by how absolutely GREAT the song sounded and (b) that I still know most of the lyrics or enough to sing along with the tune, and credibly, at that.  So mebbe we don't need Norton Brain Utilities, after all.

And now it's out to the verandah for Happy Hour and to see if I can find some more Fogelberg on Pandora.  Mainly coz we WERE a Sensitive Seventies Kinda Guy, once upon a time.

  2. "...a Sensitive Seventies Kinda Guy."

    OK, FESS UP, Buck. How many pairs of Baggies did you own (with the obligatory super-thin silver belt) and how many Knick-knicks were hanging in your closet? :)

    (BTW, remember as kids when those thin silver belts were also the rage in the late 50s? [iirc] But worn with jeans? )

    1. No Baggies, Virgil... I was then, and am now, a 501s kinda guy. But I most certainly DID have one of those skinny silver belts of which you speak, worn in the late 50s and early 60s. I have NO ideer what a Knick-knick is, however.

  3. Buck...not to be so bold as to speak for Virgil...but...

    This is probably what he's referencing.

    Maybe.

    1. Why would I hang that stuff in my closet... in quantity?
