There will be many people who don't 'get' this post.

That's okay. You probably 'get' people that I don't.

But those of you who were born with the 'Karen gene' will probably agree that

it's unlikely there will ever be another singer whose voice turns you into a mass

of quivering jello quite as much as this lady's did. ( :

I'm in the middle of this movie right now.

('Bells Are Ringing', with Judy Holliday, Dean Martin, and Jean Stapleton)

Although I'm not a huge fan of 'musicals' overall, a nice happy one is a great

thing on a dreary rainy weekend day.

I am kind of crazy about Judy Holliday. She was a genius (literally!), and I think

it showed in her acting. In this movie she's a telephone operator at an answering

service. She has a very caring nature, and adapts herself to the needs of her

clients, although her boss would prefer that she act like a robot. In the case of

Dean Martin's character, she's always pretended to be an older woman, because

she thinks he needs the guidance of a 'mother-figure'. Of course she winds up

'falling for him'! :D

Well, I haven't lied to any of my friends here yet, so I guess I'll stay honest now.

I still think 'The Bangles' were great.

The secret to really appreciating them is to listen to the 'B-sides'.

I mean, 'Manic Monday' was okay, but nothing to write home about.

And 'Walk Like An Egyptian' was just stupid. A good reason for the uncommon word 'insipid'.

But they did some really good rock and roll stuff, as well as some songs which defy description.

Here are a few I listened to tonight. I don't normally want video along with my music, but the one

that has it here is kind of fun. I like the multi-generational retro approach.
