You know, I could deal with the Abba thing. Never understood it myself, but lots of people like them, so who am I to judge? But the Starland Vocal Band?!?? Jeezum Crow! I've been racking (or wracking?) my brain trying to think of crap acts that I liked as a kid but would be embarassed to admit to liking now, or even current ones that I like. I'm having a hard time with this. One wo/man's feast is another's poison, y'know. I always felt so out of it as a kid because I didn't scream and go all girly over the Monkees or whatever. I felt like a total outsider because, even if I enjoyed their music well enough, I wasn't one of those cryin' babes that swoon when their idol is nearby. I did enjoy the BeeGees, uncool as that may be to some. I have the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and Main Course. I also have their double one, I think it's Odessa. I liked their pre-disco stuff. Down in the basement among all my warped LPs is a copy of the Average White Band - I think this was my brother's though and I just sort of stole it when I moved out of the house. I have a couple of Gloria Estefans - even though I don't care much for her, her album of Cuban songs "Mi tierra" is very good; I also have "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me" which is kind of fun. I've got "The Golden Hits of Leslie Gore" which I bought partly out of nostalgia and partly for its kitsch value. I really think someone should do a musical play of all her songs - it would be fairly easy to attach a plot to it. Of modern singers that my kids would like but some might dismiss as crap, I will admit to enjoying the music of Pink (if she doesn't overdose or die in a drunk-driving accident, she may go places), John Mayer (my daughter's current heartthrob, though I could live without hearing "Your body is a wonderland" one more time); yes, even Eminem - my sister made a point about him a few weeks ago: you can understand what he's saying - his diction is good, even though he swears a bit (just an eensie bit). ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
