Green Eyes said...

Fuzz,

Yeah it does

I listen to our favorite song playing on the radio,
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and easy go.

Has he ever felt like this?
And I know that you'd be here somehow, If I could have let you know somehow. I guess...

You've just proven my "men don't listen" theory wrong. I think I need to rephrase it to: "men just don't listen to women"
Cuz you most definately listen to lyrics!

jane: I listen to women. Heart taught me that these dreams go on when I close my eyes. Patty Smyth taught me to be a warrior. Pat Benatar taught me that hell is for children.

Jamie Dawn said...

About your previous post: I'm with you about the mega heat. When it's hot, it is toooo hot. I grew up in CA (the Bay Area, then lived near Modesto for fifteen years before moving out of CA to AR). I know the difference between a dry heat and the humid heat of AR. BUT, like you said HOT is Hot... period!

I am thrilled. This summer, I will see Foreigner and Kanses in concert. YES!! I am feeling gooood!

:P fuzzbox said...

jamie dawn: Keep a tight grip on those tickets. You wouldn't want to be standing in the rain with your head hung low.
