Meme Day!

When I get real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask me if I'm leaving. ~ Steven Wright

I wonder if I'm channelling all of my writing energy into, you know, writing and don't have so much left over for blogging lately. So, in honor of my utterly empty brain, I give you:

Memes.

Take Me Back Tuesday - Week 106

Tell us about your first Musical Obsession! We want to know.

Real obsession? Cuz, I crushed on Donny Osmond, but I was only around six. I suppose my first musical obsession would have to have been Rick Springfield. He was my first concert (I was sixteen and he was dreamy Noah Drake on General Hospital -- actually, he still is, come to think of it). *sigh* I remember that I wore leg warmers to that concert. I was seriously stylin'. I've actually seen him in concert a couple of times (his "Working Class Dog" tour and his "Tao" tour).

Who was it?

Uh... I already told you, above.

Why did you like them?

I like him because he was cute and appealed to my sixteen year-old heart. He sang pretty well, too. Interestingly, as he got away from his bubblegum pop "Jessie's Girl" image, he really rocked out. Don't bother to watch his movie "Hard to Hold" though. So. Awful.

And, yes, I saw it in the theater. Me and about ten other people in the world.

What were your favorite songs they did?

I actually like stuff from his older albums the best -- ones that never "made it". He released four albums before "Jessie's Girl" was a hit AND had a TV show in Australia -- it was animated. Betcha didn't know that.

Some of my faves?

"Life is a Celebration" from the album "Wait For Night"
"Weep Not More" and "Born Out Of Time" from the album "Comic Book Heroes"
"Speak to the Sky" from the album "Beginnings"

Do you still like them today? Why or Why not?

Absolutely. My very oldest friend sent my copies of those first albums on CD that she made from her vinyl LPs. I have the vinyl, but they didn't release the albums on CD, so I was thrilled. I have them in my CD changer right now.

And just in case that wasn't enough information, here's meme number TWO!
