Yep that was sad...also when James Stewart died.Henry Fonda was such a great actor. IMO Henry Fonda, James Stewart, and George Kennedy (I think he is still with us) are some of the finest actors ever!

Might as well put in my 2 cents...I cast my vote for "Rocket Man".

I like Honky Cat.... but then I would....

OMG...I love it... ...It's just my size too...Y'all know me too well... ... ...
Y'all wanna pull what?...

15 innings and the al won-boooooooooo...I don't care how cute Jeeter, is... ...

And what I wouldn't give for a peek at A(s). Rod... ...

It was some of Otis' other songs that made me a fan of his: "Respect", "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", "Try A Little Tenderness", and "I Can't Turn You Loose". These were some of the Redding songs that were played by the local band in the nightclub I used to frequent.

Otis died too early - he was 26.

It was really a "Red Sox" All-Star Game. Terry Francona did a masterful managing job and Drew won the most valuable player award and an hybrid SUV.

"Hmmmm uh huh"... ...Running very fast...

Does he still play "Benny and the Jets"?

No I didn't hear ya. Should have invited you to dinner of beans and cornbread. If you flew....you couldve made it.

I'm with you there too John. I used to have a tape that I played over and over and let someone borrow it and they never returned it and I forget who. so now I'm without as they don't have the same on CD. Oh well, still Smoking Cigs and Drinking Coffee, my fave. Learned to cha cha to Try A Little Tenderness.
Besides Otis, Janis, Jimmy, Jim, Mama, who else do you think died too early. Ooops forgot Buddy.

MoHub loves Jim and Jim's son is fantastic.

Well I just got double talked by Virgin Mobile.Cell phone companies are the devil.
It's a good plan if you use your cell
a lot..I don't now so I think I'll keep mine till
I get to NY and see if I will.
I guess I do LOVE many more songs by Elton even after Capt. Fantastic...I am such a stoooonad.There are tons of great songs.
I kind gave up on him after the Donald Duck incidents

Here's my third most favorite Elton song and this is NY and this is like every time you see a homeless person and step
over them
I forgot about the taxes in NY John but that's ok You godda pay to live in the greatest state in the country and who has the greatest baseball team too.

It's all Elton today on the trip up and
bye y'all DO NOT BEHAVE babies.The brat is up and being really helpful!!

I'm giving away a lifetime of stuff to my
friends and the Salvation Army.. but I'm saving the memories of course the pix and videos and such..I could care less.Take it away. Out with the old and in with the new.Ciao bellas and bellagents....Psh you say whatever the hell you want to darlin'.
This is Elton and Ryan Adams and it's gajwus.



Now I know doh



Now I know, "Spanish harlem" are not just pretty words
to say.
I thought I knew, but now I know that rose trees never grow,
in New York city.

Until you've seen this trash can dream come true,
You stand at the edge, while people run you through.
And I thank the Lord, there's people out there like you,
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you.

While Mona Lisas and mad hatters,
sons of bankers, sons of lawyers,
turn around and say, "good morning" to the night.
For unless they see the sky, but they can't and that is why,
they know not if it's dark out side or light.

This Broadway's got, its got a lot of songs to sing,

if I knew the tunes I might join in.
I go my way alone, grow my own,
my own seeds shall be sown, in New York city.
Subways no way , for a good man to go down,
Rich man can ride, and the hobo he can drown.

And I thank the Lord for the people I have found,
I thank the Lord for the people I have found.

John Lennon.

Oh yes....Imagine...IMO one of the best songs....ever.
There was also Selena...though I was not familar with her music, she was VERY popular, especially to the kids.

Was about to reply the same way.Contours did have scads of recalls including radiator fan motor relay problems. If you're unsure about the recalls you can check them online. www.autozone.com has a complete list of recall numbers for vehicles. It was from that site that I learned about the recall on my Mazda's front left coil spring breakage. I'm with Fordman on the Contour. It was a mess... but then... I'm biased and don't care for any Fords!

The dealership I work for gets all used cars. Some of them have been sitting for quite a while. Rodent damage is prevalent under the hood and can cause a slew of problems. Methods I have used with good results to ward off rodent nesting include a sack of mothballs tied under the hood away from moving or hot parts and also (as icky as it sounds) those toilet bowl fresheners that you hang on the side of the bowl. And yes, when a rodent holes up in the blower motor... oh joy what fun. I pull out a pound of insultation and poop pellets from a Chrysler last week.

Customer asks, "Why does my a/c make that horrid sound?"

I respond, "Well, it could be that mouse using it for its personal Tilt-o-Whirl..."

Yup, Brillke, me too. My family was at Matewan. They're still in the mines in Southern WV. I say amen, too! Just don't tell them I said that!

1981 Ford Fairmont wagon. Burnt orange exterior and interior color. Horn on the turn signal switch. Push the horn and the turn signal handle would fall onto the floor board. Wouldn't run on rainy or muggy days due to moisture build up in the distributor. I hated that car. But I could make it go 120 miles per hour. The speedometer would go back around past zero. Still. Hated that car.

Nah, San Antonio. I thought maybe you did some wanderin' post hippie days

Stewart is my favorite of all time! I remember composing a letter to him in my head, but I never sent it; he died later that year. And when Cary Grant died my brother and I rented a gazillion of his movies and watched 'em through a lost weekend (Ray Milland is good, too).

His "Etude" (early 80s) is beautiful, too. Anything but those "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" years

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight"--that's the other one I was trying to remember. Tears for the memories.

Boutht a "cheap seats" ticket but squeezed in with my front row pals for a Chapin concert . His brother Tom was there, and Harry's son (who was about four at the time). We were invited to go to a party with them, but I passed. I know, just whack me upside the head.

KK--have a safe trip! May the music float with you!!

Well, looks like I'm talkin' to myself. See you all at PR?

I only have two alias's
Cyd and Tula
Unlike the Sybil list I've given you.

John Lennon, Richie Valens, John Denver, Sam Cooke and Elvis.

Donald Duck - the concert in Central Park.

Hey, sweets! My first car was a 1966 Rambler Classic...front seats folded back to make a bed...great for the Drive In movies...that is it would have been if I had known anything at all about sex at 15...damn

I'm 35 and still know nuttin'...

That's when hollywood(sic)was Hollywood...

Oh I know all about nuttin'... ...Running very fast...

I did watch the movie. **silent tears falling**Another one Selena.

How could I forget them??

OMG Parts,you just made me remember, I had a 70's something Chevy Vega. It was orange, but when I bought it was purple and when I nicked it orange paint was underneath. Anyway, my Vega wouldn't run either when it was rainy or very humid. People laughed when I told them this. So I always carried a rag to wipe out the distributor cap and thingy. (not car knowledgeable.) And I'd spray out the carburator with some stuff. I hated that car too. But the purple was pretty

I have been to San Antonio when my ex was in basic. It was January and pretty nice. I've actually lived all over, but have been stuck in my current place for 26 years. and its killing this nomad.

AWWW River, you "broke my heart" I loved those years, (maybe it was the soapers") How'd you like "Blue Moods" best of all time.

I know I'm being UnAmerican, but I never liked Elvis.

I don't think it is un-American...but it is unusual. Whenever I think of Elvis I think of the song Blue Christmas....I just love that song.

Love that song too! It's a classic. Also, Love Me Tender, Ok maybe I liked early Elvis, just not the jumpsuited Vegas one.

OMG...I hated that friggin white jumpsuit! I like to remember him in the black leather.

Yes, the black leather bad boy.

The was a session taped in a studio in 1968. He had a black leather jacket on.

I had an orange Datsun 510, the first car I bought when I got out of the military. I used the money I had saved while in the service and bought the car outright. It was a great car initially except it didn't come with a radio. I had bought in August of 1971 and it was one of the last cars on the lot - no wonder - orange w/no radio. The problem with the car was that I couldn't get service on it - in 1971 mechanics here in America didn't know much about Japanese cars. The following year I met my wife and took her on our first date. As luck would have it the car went dead - one of the wires to the distributor cap kept slipping off.

The following spring I got rid of the 510 and traded it in for a Mercury Capri V-6. The Capri was the German version of the Ford Mustang. Being used to the Datsun which had gotten pretty anemic by the time I traded it in, I proceeded to burn rubber out of the dealership parking lot. I kept the Capri for 7 years until I traded it in for a 1980 VW Jetta.

The white jumpsuit.....my mother made the kidlet an Elvis costume for Halloween when he was 18 months old! It's still in my closet.
