I don't get it. What's funny? This must be one of those wisdom pills. Pretty damned accurate.

Ì get it. been there, done (most of) that!
At least some of that I can look back @ and laugh!
and some are a painful reminder I'm getting old.

I still hate Bob Dylan.

Thanks gerryboy00, your post was so deja-vu. Or is that Room with a view?

Do test baby's have a womb with a view?

BJ, dislike his singing style, or lack of, but don't hate Bob Dylan. He has created some of the best of our times.

I bet you like Tiny Tim. You, Bob, & Tiny need
a tulip patch to go romp through.

I remember hearing he had passed away; THAT seems like thirty years ago. I don't miss that 'tulip' song at all! I'd rather listen to Yoko Ono (not!). Remember her?

who could forget the first single John released w/ her on the flip side.
I bet Robin likes her!

OK, Tiny Tim was not my style at all. Yoko is also not my style, but I have a lot of respect for her. Her style spawned groups like the B-52s, who again is not my style.

I do listen to Yoko on the Double Fantasy album because of the dedication between her and John and their son just before their lives were shattered.

Let's talk about Kid Rock. I think he is a breath of rockabilly fresh air in a mundane musical arena. What do ya say, BJ, we gotta find common ground somewhere.

I hate the B-52's( think there sappy) & Kid Rock (think he's disgusting and has no talant).

Steely Dan?
Aerosmith?
Harry Nilson?
Mott the Hoople?
Blue Oyster Cult?
Rolling Stones? (this one can be a deal breaker)

C'mon, throw me bone.

Jeez, BJ. Did you have to make it look like I said I had a crush on Joe Perry?

Anyway, we're ok. There's more likes than dislikes so I don't have to mark you off as some sappy Enya loving babette.

By the way, Mott the Hoople was an outlet for David Bowie between Ziggy and Young Americans, I just happened to see one of their records (big black discs with a hole in the middle) on a used record rack.
