I did see them perform once in Las Vegas. They sang a traditional song from some country in Africa. The shimmied, they "shaked", and they grooved to the rhythms of Africa. It was real, it was surreal, it was surprisingly entertaining. RESPECT!<br /><br />Now, go and listen to a little Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, Johnny Cash, Willie, and Merle. It will be good for the soul.<br />Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458565038623693762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-23360337190661757752015-07-14T16:53:23.247-06:002015-07-14T16:53:23.247-06:00My girl, we need to make you a real good mix tape....My girl, we need to make you a real good mix tape. I have been listening to this fairly profane playlist on Spotify when I work out, to the extent that a Destiny's Child song called "Check Up On it," which begins with a Slim Thug rap that says, 'You need to stop playing round with all them clowns and the wankstas,/Good girls gotta get down with them gangstas,' and goes on from there. I would put a sample representative lyric, but it is of no redeeming social value, and utterly catchy, so much so that I CAN.NOT. STOP myself from singing a little bit while I'm, like, doing flys and what not. (https://youtu.be/Qa3O9d8X0yo, just fyi, although your mileage may vary.) Also, that JayZ song I have been extolling, 'H.O.V.A.,' which is basically one super long brag, and which I find entirely cheering: 'H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A/Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me/Therefore he doesn't exist/So poof...vamoose son of a bitch.' Vamoose! OMG. (https://youtu.be/1tWmyPMf3wU --this one bleeps several offensive words, just in case that's how you roll.) Well, I hope you have understood my point, which is that you need some less uplifting music, which will allow you to rap along with miscreants, and there is NOTHING more uplifting than that.<br /><br />Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10646181766775405935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-66210597100016991422015-07-14T14:19:25.972-06:002015-07-14T14:19:25.972-06:00So with you on the bucket thing and the to wit.

Sometimes on the way to Starbucks on Sunday morning I'll turn the radio to KBYU and there will be Praise to the Man or A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief and damn if it doesn't take me back to the family pew, middle section, three rows up, at the North Jordan 3rd ward, me trying to find the bass line before my voice and beliefs have entirely made up their mind to change.radagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767542536330366317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-26852382766982237992015-07-14T13:48:34.312-06:002015-07-14T13:48:34.312-06:00I comment here too much.

On Sunday, after the youth speakers gave talks about freedom and living in this free land, we stood and sang the rest hymn God Save the King. My friend Shirley said, "Well, this is awkward." What the hell, is right.
