Bobby Womack, "I Can Understand It." Wow, that was a blast, huh?
(Ooh, hey, I need this.)
Posted by Ilyka at February 11, 2005 09:40 AM in navel gazingI got it. But I cheated just because I really wanted the Tarot reading and now I'm thinking that maybe a Tarot reading that comes about by way of cheating is tempting fate. So forget it.
Posted by: michele at February 11, 2005 11:46 AMTotally clueless on the song but a Tarot reading would be superfine so I'll guess Billy Ray Cyrus. The song? Um... "My girl lay down for everyone but me" or something similar.
Posted by: Jim at February 11, 2005 11:47 AMI dunno, but the lyrics both raised my hackles and turned me on at the same time, so maybe there's something wrong with me. *reaches for DSM-IV*

It's really terrible if you interpret it as "Bitch, I'm home--now spread 'em," but at the time I was playing this song a lot I was working long hours, while the boyfriend was in school and leading what seemed to me to be a comparative life of ease, so I always heard it from the singer's point of view and identified with that; thus it's never raised hackles for me, because of course it's cute when I take that attitude, right?
Rationalization: It makes the world go 'round!
Posted by: ilyka at February 11, 2005 06:07 PMTarot readings are cool. I would have done the Spirit of America donation to get one back then if you hadn't been working for the enemy. And if I'd had $5.
Okay, okay. I withdraw Billy Ray. Switch that to Hank Williams Jr.
Or maybe Sinead O'Connor.

A biker and a cowboy on death row scheduled to be exectuted the same day. The warden asks the cowboy if he has any last request.
"Yeah, play Achy Breaky Heart for me. I need to hear it one more time."
He asks the biker if he has any last request:
"Yeah, kill me first"
Posted by: Rob at February 12, 2005 02:00 AMJeff Goldblum in The Big Chill said, "Rationalizations are more important than sex.". He also asked if Tom Berenger had "ever gone a week without a rationalization". It really does make the world go around.
No Tarot readings for me, thankyouverymuch. Had a spot of good luck recently. My quota for this decade.
Posted by: Rob at February 12, 2005 02:02 AMSorry for the multiple comments but I couldn't quite figure out what your blacklist was objecting to. I know now. It doesn't like "go r0und" but it will take "go around". Anyway, consolidate them if you like. Or delete them, it was pretty lame as one comment. Very lame as 6.
Posted by: Rob at February 12, 2005 02:05 AMI give up. What's the answer? Don't make me keep guessing. I've still got all of the 80's hair bands in reserve...
Posted by: Jim at February 14, 2005 12:25 PMWhew! What a relief.
