Motels - "Only the Lonely"We walked the loneliest mile
We smiled without any style
We kiss altogether wrong
No intentionWe lied about each others drinks
We lived without each other thinkin'
What anyone would do
Without me and you*It's like I told you
Only the lonely can playSo hold on here we go
Hold on to nothin' we know
I feel so lonely way up hereWe mention the time we were together
So long ago, well I don't remember
All I know is that it makes me feel good now*It's like I told you
Only the lonely can playOnly the lonely
Only the lonely can play

I guess it depends on how often and how long you're exposed to a certain kind of music. Even if it was excellent music to begin with, the gag reflex can set in after the 2,500,303rd time you've heard a particular song. The radio stations here in St. Louis just haven't picked up on that concept, so consequently, hearing "When the lights...go down...on the city..." has the effect of Chinese water torture on me. I will hurt myself getting to the radio fast enough to turn that off.
In all fairness, last night I watched a tribute to Terry O'Reilly before the Bruins game, and I started to frown a little when they started showing old clips of Terry in brutal hockey fights
to the music of the Who's "Teenage Wasteland". I didn't see the relevance, and I was having a knee-jerk reaction to 70s music. Then it clicked- the first 2 lines are, "Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals". Also, I had made a common mistake - the title is not "Teenage Wasteland", but Baba O'Reilly. It was a macho and loving and
well-thought-out tribute, very well-done.If this has anything to do with your original post, apparently it was an accident.

The "hurt myself trying to shut off the radio" part reminds me of when I used to hear "*MASH*" coming on TV... I would yell "LA LA LA LA" while covering my ears as I ran to the TV or fumbled for the remote. Sorry if this offends any MASH fans, but I really hated that show - and the worst part was the theme song. :)
Now, I can take 80's music for a while, but everything can get old if played enough. hahaha

I'm up past midnight, watching King Live, listening to Rod Stewart. My mom adores Rod or at least I think she does because she had a tape of his. Now Rod I recognize, but is he 80's or 90's? Hmph!!
Well good night! (oooooooo, what a voice)
Wishing Willow
