The Musical Confessional: Step Right In

[Dale]

Once I got past Duffy's physical appearance on SNL last weekend, I noted that she was making pretty interesting music. I downloaded the album, Rockferry, and, about 2/3 of it is really good. "Stepping Stone" is a real throw back to the sort of Lulu/Leslie Gore/Dusty Springfield kind of vibe.

I'm 51 and:

1. the Rolling Stones I could take or leave.

2. I happen to like the Gilbert O'Sullivan song, Alone Again, Naturally.

3. I think that the early Barry Manilow stuff is some of the best pop music ever recorded.

4. I like Nine Inch Nails too. And Green Day. And Interpol. And I realize they are nothing alike.

5. The part in Les Mis, where Jean Valjean is dying and Fantine sings, "Come with me, where chains can never bind you..." always makes me cry.

Wow. I can take or leave the Stones, although the single "Gimme Shelter" is necessary for all carbon-based life forms. Early Barry Manilow did indeed have merit. NIN. Green Day I sort of get. And, that moment in Les Mis is unbearably beautiful. I've seen Les Mis four times. Which I probably should enter on one of the gay/straight forums.

We may be the same person. Let me ask you this: Have you ever seen the two of us in one place at the same time?

I think we shared a seat at Les Mis

Ooo... racy.

Don't look them in the eye!"

Well, that explains the puddle.
