THURSDAY THIRTEEN #57 -- Pop Goes the iPod


QUIZ! CAN YOU NAME
THESE 13 TUNES?

I have exactly 2,310 songs on my iPod and most of them are classified as “pop.” Here’s a sampling, and (to make it look like I put more work into this than just setting it on “shuffle” and skipping over the Christmas carols), it’s in the form of a quiz.

It’s a pretty eclectic collection, covering 40 years. I must give my iPod credit for putting 12 and 13 back to back because they really sound great together.

The answers are in the comments section.

1. So now you’re back from outer space. I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face.

2. I’m 45 for a moment. The sea is high and I’m heading into a crisis, chasing the years of my life.


3. I’ll be alright, one way or another. So let me go, or make me want to stay.


4. May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the light surrounding you.


5. She married when she was 20. She thought she was ready. Now she’s not so sure.


6. The rain is falling on my window pane, but we are hiding in a safer place.


7. Everybody needs a place to rest, everybody wants to have a home. Ain’t no difference what nobody says – ain’t nobody like to be alone.


8. Woke up, got out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head.


9. I dream of moments we share, but you’re not there. I’m living in a fantasy.


10. Seven lonely days and a dozen times ago, I reached out one night and you were gone.


11. I’ll be your baby, I’ll be your score. I’ll run the gun for you and so much more.


12. I don’t mind spending every day, out on the corner in the pouring rain.


13. Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter.

Back from the precipice

Bill isn't the only "Comeback Kid" in the Clinton household. Even as pundits were writing her campaign obituary, voters in Texas and Ohio were casting their ballots for Hillary. So she won when she absolutely had to. I'm still leaning toward Obama, but I've gotta admire this old girl's guts.
