The Thing About Bananas

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 7 Sep

I like bananas. I always have. I didn't eat them for a while because they're a high-carb fruit. So I allegedly have high blood pressure now. And my research says that potassium lowers blood pressure. Bananas have a lot of...

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (54659) • United States 7 Sep

Today is a pretty day here. We have sunshine and it is a wee bit cooler at 89 degrees Fahrenheit. My husband had to work today, but just called and is getting off now. I am glad that it was a shorter day and look forward to him...

Put that Thing Away - "Shapes of Things"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (46559) • Denver, Colorado 7 Sep

It is often considered as the first popular psychedelic rock song. It’s on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s list of 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. We’re talking, of course, about The Yardbirds’ 1966 hit, “Shapes of...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (388118) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Sep

I read a good news story this morning about farmers in our south-west (of Western Australia) and how they treasure their old working dogs. Some are arthritic, some are deaf but they still turn up each morning, anxious and eager to...

Put that Thing Away - "No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song)"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (46559) • Denver, Colorado 6 Sep

“I know your mind, you want it funky, but you don’t have to be no junkie.” Kind of odd lyrics for a song subtitled “Cocaine Song,” coming from a soundtrack to a movie about a cocaine dealer. But according to Curtis Mayfield’s...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (388118) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Sep

Put that Thing Away - "You Sexy Thing"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (46559) • Denver, Colorado 5 Sep

There are hit singles that have a short shelf-life, and there are hit singles that take on a life of their own. British band Hot Chocolate’s 1975 single, “You Sexy Thing,” is firmly in the latter category. At first, producer...

I’m in No Condition

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (100809) • Daytona Beach, Florida 5 Sep

Interesting title to this Dolly Parton song. "I'm In No Condition" is from her debut album "Hello, I'm Dolly," released in 1967. The lyrics express feelings of heartbreak and emotional feelings following a difficult love affair....
