Set adrift on memory bliss
When I pointed out this clever aural amalgam by Luke DuBois of every #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart to JM, he listened for 30 seconds and pointed out that the composer put both "Little Star" and "Bird Dog" in the piece, when "Bird Dog" was never #1 on the Hot 100, just the Best Sellers in Stores chart.
At the moment he's yelling at the TV, where the MST3K bots are making factual errors about pop music (confusing "Arizona" and "Indiana Wants Me") as a happy couple strolls on a beach, a la a Sessions or K-Tel commercial.
Living with a pop music savant is better than I ever imagined. Except when he can't resist playing every hit from 1989-1991 for me because he finds it amusing that I know all the words to tripe like "Romeo" by Dino. Uh-huh, right, like him knowing every word to both "Say You'll Be There" by the Spice Girls and "My Happiness" by Connie Francis is something to be proud of.
Happy New Year, whatever you're listening to tonight.

On New Year´s Eve, we were so far from any media whatsoever...and my mother-in-law got sick from an allergic reaction to penicillin at about 10 pm and had to be rushed off to the doctor, so we pretty much did nothing. I imagined you guys would be home this year. : ) Happy New Year!!!
