I have many, many songs that would make the list.

But, for now, I'll start with I've Had The Time Of My Life from "Dirty Dancing".

And why? Here's the story:

My folks retired to Florida in 1985. Less than two years later, my mom died and a predatory widow got her claws into my father and he allowed himself to be pushed into a marriage he didn't want. And the song she demanded be played at their wedding (which I did not attend)? Yep. You guessed it.

The beeeyotch was a monster. Despised by everybody, and with good reason. One of those "she who yells the loudest is right" people. But I have many other good, valid reasons for hating this harpy, and they will remain private.

So, that song is one that brings back very bad, bitter memories. Everyone concerned is dead now, but I still hear that damned song in commercials. I immediately change the channel. mad


Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
