MM is the quintessential All-American Girl but she doesn't fit this hit song. Sorry, I'm not buying into your video tribute. That's not to say I don't think she's gorgeous. It was the California girls of the early Sixties that inspired this hit song by the Beach Boys. I lived out there in Los...

@snipa37omega -- Brian Wilson's mother explained that a dog barked at her because he/she picked up her vibrations, which were not familiar to the animal. Brian went with the kernel of that conversation between his mother and himself. He sat down and composed the song with the concept of "vibrat...

There's an old saying, "Don't shit in your own nest." Guess what, idiots? Now that aren't any friggin' stores anymore in YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!!! And you're certainly not going to be welcome in suburbia...

@datgirlmimms -- dumbchaka, whose property do you think they're destroying. Not their own, for sure. It's the RICH immigrants who are suffering the losses. The movers-and-shakers know this is "urban renewal" at its finest. Now the yuppies can come in, buy the properties are "fire sale" prices...

Tame by American riot standards. In the U.S., they'd smash your car's windshield, smash in your windows, yank you and your passengers out, and fuck you up with concrete blocks and fire extinguishers, ie. Reginald Denny was brutally beaten in the 1992 L.A. riots.

Heavy-handed interviewer. You put the man on camera, now let him speak. You don't have to agree. Put up a disclaimer that his views aren't necessarily the P.O.V. of the broadcaster. That's how professional news broadcasters in the U.S. do it.

@binner69er -- Who are you to tell anyone to keep their noses out of other peoples' business. If I recall, the British had their noses in our business during the Vietnam War and not one of them had their asses on the line! The only allies we had were the Aussies and the South Koreans. The Brit...

@MVDrumline -- Thanks for the explanation. I simply clicked the "Reload" arrow to un-freeze my browser.

Beautiful land. "Midnight Express" starring Brad Davis gave Turkey a very negative spin. Hopefully, things have improved since then.

This song is one of the reasons Hall and Oates ruled the air waves!

Back in the day, my hair was blond and my older brother's hair was brunette. Hall and Oates reminds me of my brother and I when we were running a major-appliance repair shop in Bowling Green, Ky.

He was going through a divorce, so it was a difficult time for both of us. I was doing my best t...

A close friend introduced me to "Wait for Me." And I think of him every time I hear this song. I love it. Over time, it has it has come to remind me of my failing relationship with my wife (the marriage was going down hill slowly but surely). I was off in the Army and she was stuck at home wi...

At night, my comrades and I were groovin' to these songs in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970 after flying combat sorties all day long. Except for the deaths of my friends and the innocent Vietnamese civilians, I wouldn't want it any different.

-- "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out."

@davidfaubion -- When did men stop being men and all became wusses?

Reminds me of my "old" CRAIG 8-track tape player in my 1956 Chevy when I waited for the track to switch and a song to continue!!

I remember how thrilled my brother, Tim, and I were to get a brand-new Craig tape player after San Pedro gang members stole our "Mad-man Muntz" 8-track. Looking back,...

@ronelvis -- I looked it up. According to Wiki., Post Cereal Company shipped one million copies on Super Sugar Crisp cereal boxes. The song went Gold again in 2004, with more than one million downloads.

The early Beatles didn't strike a cord with me -- but around 1967 they began playing songs that really impacted my life and they became a part of it! I never agreed with their politics (keep the f'ck out of our business) but I love them nonetheless!

Haiti is a nation taken over and run into the ground by former slaves. They killed off all of the White folks -- twice!! That ought to tell you Yankees something about your plans for Civil War Reconstruction in The South.
