That song you woke up with...

I need to start a category for this. I wake up humming a totally irrelevant song, often one I haven't even thought of for years, and I don't...know...why! I must have a very colorful dream life; wish it would let me share.

Anyway, I always enjoyed this guy Deutschendorf's voice and some of his music, but the videos still get on my nerves. All that oily faux-sincerity, all that moony posturing... I don't know. I don't think I was a cynic in the seventies. I could listen to the albums, but never could take his TV performances.

LOL - that reminds me of a story my mom told me. Her father (my grandfather) loved to listen to Liberace's music, but he couldn't bear to look at him; it weirded him out too much. So he'd go to Liberace's concerts, but keep his eyes closed!

That's funny as hell. I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid, not knowing anything at all about "gay", and just thought he was entertainingly weird. Piano solos couldn't have held my interest at that age, but what was with those outfits?

Joel, PLEASE forgive me! I can't help what disturbing images flash through my brain at times. Honest, I can't!

But, I can't help but laugh picturing you wearing a Liberace outfit topped with a Jayne hat and carrying an AK-47.

I'm sorry. I truly am.

I could never wear a gold lame' cape. It's so ... not me. And with an AK? Outre! A high-dollar bullpup slathered in a railfarm and gingerbread, maybe. But not an AK. You need a place to mount the candelabra, after all. Have a little taste!

Heh..... my DH has the same sense of humour. Every time I think it's safe he brings me in close like he's going to hug me and starts humming Sunshine on my shoulder makes me......very annoyed.

Men are all part of some sick group conspiracy...right?

I could lose my lodge pin for answering that, CM.
