A total departure for me to write of teen angst...but I am enjoying it. SMOOCH<BR/><BR/>ANNDI: So glad you enjoyed. I always appreciate your in depth look at the music i choose. You know I spend almost as much time selecting the music, as I do writing the story and for this one- Music choice is crucial<BR/>I think you would have been a BAY BABE!

I'm guessing a KISS is how the whole mess started out.. and the lyrics to Madonna's Live To Tell fit the story perfectly. Besides, the Bay Babes would most definitely have been into both those artists (I should know, I was a teenager then). And although I agree with Songbird that the 81 version is excellent, that version never even hit the Hot 100 on this side of the pond...<BR/><BR/>The fact that the songs of my adolescence are played on an "oldies" station .. well.. *sigh*<BR/><BR/>And um.. Seems the Bay Babes are THE CLICK to be a part of... just sayin'<BR/><BR/>SMOOCH!Anndihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08703154815958841195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-88457080478455745572007-03-13T03:25:00.000-05:002007-03-13T03:25:00.000-05:00The Scarlet Letter! I always tend to look at things from both perspectives and while Mary Alice suffered who knows how badly her Mom was suffering, no excuse though for making her daughter suffer in the process but but...who knows.<BR/><BR/>I remember when my Pa used to take with him to go visit his lady friends, such a burden for a kid but as long as I stood shut he and Mom wouldn't fight. Goodness, those were weird times. <BR/><BR/>Bond baby once again you touch upon a topic that intrigues me, human nature and relationships, mouaaaah!<BR/><BR/>Love ya!<BR/>TTisha!http://www.blogger.com/profile/00476744443195395621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-21290870681700493202007-03-12T22:17:00.000-05:002007-03-12T22:17:00.000-05:00CWM: Glad you enjoyed and there is always room for another COUCH friend<BR/><BR/>DIXIE: Well ummm.. if it gets warped, I hope it still doesn't remind you of your youth!

Merci for all those kind comments and emails, my dear friend. I thought I had answered your mail about the layouts - newyork.com s*#ks sometimes... but my other account you use is still fine... and of course: We are cool - whatever you do with the layout. I´m happy if we can help other fellow bloggers with this. I was working on a 3-column xml-layout before CD came back. I will finish as soon as I´m fine. It will be working like the 2-column crayon-box blogger offers =)<BR/><BR/>If you want one, just let me know!<BR/><BR/>*smooch*Sannihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14377853790967916704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-22622351931940955362007-03-12T16:52:00.000-05:002007-03-12T16:52:00.000-05:00american family at workLexa Roséanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14508826357626754913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-67249099198960628082007-03-12T16:40:00.000-05:002007-03-12T16:40:00.000-05:00The original version of "Pretty in Pink" was released in 1981, so iffen you had used that version (which is better in my humble opinion) you would have remained historically accurate.<BR/><BR/>But, whatever...Desert Songbirdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14320552900816326120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-20395816002922609212007-03-12T16:39:00.000-05:002007-03-12T16:39:00.000-05:00Loving it - nice tunes too. :D Can't wait for a blow by blow of the trip.Angellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07752214549343627320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-26456959237939187272007-03-12T16:38:00.000-05:002007-03-12T16:38:00.000-05:00Loving it - nice tunes too. :D Can't wait for a blow by blow of the trip.Angellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07752214549343627320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-55318238689357243632007-03-12T15:52:00.000-05:002007-03-12T15:52:00.000-05:00Hmmm, nice setup.

Not necessarily surprised at Madonna (teen girls, and all), but I would've thought maybe The Psych Furs (and their "Pretty in Pink" remix from the movie) might have been your choice.<BR/><BR/>Just didn't figure you for a Prince fan, but then I guess the teen girls would have been.
