Well, I'm coming in a bit late to this, but I want to second (or third...) the fact that the video of Tom speaking about his opportunity to sing with Queen and "be Freddy Mercury" - whole heartedly, with respect, and with talent- just proves to myself and I think everyone here, that although nobody is perfect, Tom has gained a level of maturity that I can only hope and pray that Kanye will somehow gain! Love Keane for their talent and how it makes me feel, and respect them even more after listening to Tom's speech on that video. Pretty certain it wasn't an act! Terri ( sorry if I gush on about Keane too much, but this comparison between him and Kanye just speaks to so much about what is right and wrong with the world! )

One more digression... i love Under Pressure here's a little Keane/Queen mash up.

Love the Monte Python Spam video - hilarious!! Anne, I asked my hubby if he had Spam growing up - he remembers having it a few times- I think it's pretty safe to say that we will stay away from it! No childhood cravings! I remember hearing Tom Chaplin would be performing songs with Queen - if I remember correctly it went over pretty well. I enjoyed it! terri

Oh, good ole canned Spam.... The Hormel company is pretty much in my (not too distant) backyard! I really never hear too much about Spam -I may have tried it once at a friend's while growing up-otherwise my family never had it and I've never bought it! I did drag my husband to the company festival (picnic?) - whatever it was- because they had The Daisy Dillman band (Lovin the Night Away - their one hit around 1979) and Michael Johnson ( Bluer than Blue) playing and it was open to the public. Just listen - video is nothing to speak of- anyone remember them? One of my favorite "non-radio" songs - thanks to a class-mate who played the album for the first 15 minutes of high school Humanities class- by Daisy Dillman is Learn Now I have really digressed ... Back to Kanye!

The video was already removed but I did find a clip on youtube of him attempting Bohemian Rhapsody. It was just wrong... Wrong wrong wrong. I do believe he is in a totally different world than the rest of us! I also saw the clip of him almost smiling- was it at a basketball game? I guess it doesn't matter where he was, but you really could sure tell he caught sight of that camera! terri

Happy Birthday Ira! Have a great year! terri

I love this Ed Sheran song! Anne, I just saw your response today and saw my Mankato Home Free boys in the video you posted for this song- kind of did a double take as I had not seen this video. When they were in the area they went to my son's school and interacted with his choir class. He and I thought that was pretty cool! We really hoped for a surprise performance at the school choir concert... I guess that would've taken away from the hardwork of the students though. My problem with all of this copyright stuff is that to me (as a nonmusician of course!) it's not that different than some of our "same title" different song posts. We copy words don't we? I just feel it goes too far but also understand the mighty dollar makes it that way! A compliment or inspiration doesn't cut it in today's world- maybe I'm just jealous that generations get to gain from a famous ancestor! ( where can I get one??) Of course true in many circumstances! terri

Hope you are having a great birthday month! ( I am really behind!) Have a great year!

Happy Belated Birthday!! I'm very behind lately ( "the boy" (ha - playing off of Cheryl) graduated). I've enjoyed your posts and great insights! hope you had a great day and here's to a great year! Terri

Hope you had a great birthday! I'm a bit behind! Terri

Happy Belated Birthday! Your Blackhawks did great - as a Wild fan, we maybe weren't as thrilled.... happy for you though! Terri

So sorry to hear and prayers being sent for everyone touched by his life. terri

Happy Birthday! Wishing you a great day and year!

Happy Birthday!! Terri

Hope you had a great birthday Nancy! Wishing you a wonderful year as well! Terri

Well I just erased a 3 paragraph "therapy session" on my part! Good news for you all! My advice is that you have done what you can Ira - but, I agree with Batman, leave the door open, you never know. I wish a friend of mine had just given me a little more time at a hectic time in my life. ...however, we did not have a fight and maybe someday I will be brave and throw out an olive branch to her and we can pick up where we left off. It's taken me a long time to understand and not feel loss over some friends, but people change as well as our life circumstances. Terri

I loved the movie "Heaven Can Wait" ....did not know there was a song of the same name written by Eric Carmen (written for the movie, no less!). I'm glad "Down to Earth" used "All By Myself"! I learn something new all of the time here! Terri

Woohoo! I've been away a few days....exciting! Thanks Bernie!

GFR sang this tune - always loved it, though in the 70s I never figured out it was GFR! Oh well, kinda like my not knowing Eric Carmen was in the Raspberries! Sad, but true! https://youtu.be/aEWP56_C_Xs

Another blast from the past - learned this song from my brother's 8 track. So catchy, hard to believe it is about breaking up!

Becoming my trademark here- Happy BELATED Birthday wishes! Terri

Happy Birthday! Terri

I am the 4th child of five - 2 older brothers, 1 older sister, and 1 younger sister!

Happy Birthday! Hope it is great! Terri

I had not seen the "She's Gone" video - that was funny! How did they keep a straight face? Terri
