Who can argue with this?

I'll be your fantasy, but I won't be your property
Love you eternally, but I'll never be your property
Love from me's not guaranteed
Just because you think I'm property
I can love you totally and still not be your property

Every girl and boy wants to grow up to be loved someday
And you can't wait to give your heart away
But it's like worship in their eyes walking down the aisle
When you slip on that ring, they start to treat you like a thing, yeah

I call it slavery when you call…

Thanks, TR.

Let me tell you 'bout the new world order
Not the kind to make you run for the border
It's a new religion wrapped in a revolution
With a proven solution for your mental pollution

Cars and gold bars and chains and diamond rings
These are the symbols, we want the real things
Peace in the soul and a natural insight
Things that please the mind and make the body feel right

Don't let no one tell you that god ain't got a sense of humor
Someone said he's pissed off, but that was just a rumor

No cheating, no fudging, no hedging. You get to choose one song. Just one. The song, be it rock, punk, hip hop, a classical symphony, or NES midi piece- the one song that you will, without reservation, name as the greatest ever.
Hard question? Yeah. Impossible? No. Your opinion, and mine, may change next week. Or tomorrow. And when something plays in iTunes that triggers the urge to slap your forehead and go "MAN! I forgot that one!".

Just answer the question. What is the greatest song ever?

I'll start, and it may be a slight surprise….

Sheep

I submit…

It's one of the things that strikes me as I listen through my collection, be it mp3s, CDs, or vinyl…music, and rock in particular, has always been innovative. There's always been someone doing something different, pushing the envelope, making us notice them by the tracks they put on a record. Or so the story goes….

I notice a disturbing lessening of this as time goes on. I hate to be one of 'those people', but it's an unavoidable observation, and it's hard to ignore: With each passing decade, the innovation and uniqueness has disappeared little by little, and it seems…

Listening to Dark Side of the Moon for probably the hundredth time, and it just never gets old. I think there are some things that are just timeless- Casablanca, Citizen Kane, and a few of my favorite records. I already mentioned Dark Side of the Moon, but there are others.
Right at the top of my list, I'd have to put 3 in particular: Something/Anything and A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren, and The Queen is Dead. A bit of an odd set, probably, but that comes from having 4 decades of life behind you. Tastes…

how lazy I've always been about properly tagging my mp3s. Makes for a lot of working fixing my stupid!

..until THE NEW CARS show! It's a 6 hour drive, and it'll probably rain…but I don't care. I can't wait.

"I don't know what that cologne is
But it's working like a charm
Makes it easy to imagine
Walking you on my arm…"

Let the good times roll again!
