More Portland Music

I am of the same mind as girlfagpnw in that I like road trip music to be stuff I know so I can sing along in the car. I also dug her suggestion of American Pie by Don Mclean.... So I went to iTunes.. Did you know that you can only get that track if you buy the whole album? I have never seen that before... Every other track is available as a single.. But not the one good song. (Have you heard that album?? I have.. Ew.)Not a good way to satrt my day, folks..LOL

So I downloaded Erasure's top 20 hits.. YAY!

And I made another CD. ( Track list here )

Talk about a validation.....

An online friend just Im'ed me this.. Quite possibly the highest praise I have ever gotten. Really touched me.


"Seriously, I have read about your travails, your triumphs. You have really caused me to push away from the old ***** into the new ***** who does things because he wants to do them, not be locked into conforming to what people expect me to do.

I'm resurrecting my old tat designs...and...I know this sounds funny...after 25 years of worrying what other think...I now finally got the guts to wear cutoff 501s!"
