Don't think so. We have never had crossover musical interests for the most part. She accepts that of me, and I of her.

A co-worker basically threw this CD in my hand and said to "check this out" with absolutely no solicitation from me. After reading the liner-notes, (Desmond Child!), and checking-out the overblown production and derivative vocal gymnastics, I wanted to approach her and ask what exactly was it that inspired her to let me borrow this CD with no provocation coming from my end. I imagined her looking at me morph into a giant lollipop like on the old cartoonies.

So bad.

'Billy Brown' is better than grace kelly imo. grace kelly is another great song, but the others aren´t that good.

it´s not that bad. just get drunk a bit and you will have a good time.

I'm just going to put this out there and see what occurs. When I first heard 'Grace Kelly' on the radio, I though "wow, Robbie Williams has finally got a decent song on the radio again". When I found out it wasn't Robbie Williams, I thought "that's a pretty crap Robbie Williams rip off, and it'll probably be huge", and then I thought, "sucks to be Robbie Williams, I guess."

I have visions of Robbie Williams drunkenly trampling around his record company's office, shrieking "Why didn't you buy this song for me?! Why?!"

I'm going to guess it's because this is probably considered very "gay friendly" music by most people. He does sound like a childish version of Freddy Mercury. If that was the reason, I'm sorry you have to put up with
assumptions like that.

Yikes

Unfortunately I have to beat the ladies off with a stick but I guess she saw right through my swarthy and masculine demeanor.

I think the singing is a little too snazzy for Goon Williams, although no doubt he could be electronically mangled sufficiently to provide a performance.

I assumed it was a Scando (so good at these things are they) band of pretty, skinny twenty-somethings who'd cleverly copped late-era (naffer) Queen for the marketing thereof. I was not a little disappointed to learn that A it wasn't, and B the rest of the record is (more) dire.

Well I know you're gay based on other posts you've made. I figured most people you interact with know you're gay, as you don't seem like someone who would be hiding it from anyone. Being gay has never stopped a woman from hitting on a guy she perceived as hot, in my experience. Remember, my girlfriend is telling me how great this guy is. Maybe that means she thinks I should get a rainbow flag tattoo now. sigh

I hated that(I knew that going in), and I couldn't just leave in the middle of it if I found it too torturous. Th only way I got through that was by drinking heavily, and trying to pass out on the blanket spread out on the ground. And that was difficult, since Alpine Valley is on a slope. If you fall asleep, there is a very real possibility of rolling down the slope.

I can't say that I have any idea who these Mikas are, but I can only imagine that they couldn't be worse, as

and the Mikas fans probably aren't full-on pseudo-hippies.

So, at least you've got that going for you.
