Monday Night Open Thread

I hated “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” from the first time I heard it. There is just so much wrong with that song, I don’t know where to begin.

Now, to be fair, I never really blamed Vickie Lawrence for the song, even though she recorded it. Her husband wrote it, and he was a bit older than her — nine years older — so he was calling the shots. She was young and inexperienced in the music industry, and wasn’t really a singer, being a regular on the Carol Burnett Show.

Gosh, I hate that song.

Yeah, I’d rather watch her listen to Tim Conway’s Elephant Story.

If We Could Be Serious, For One Moment

Apparently Rihar has a story about a David Bowie concert he went to, but is reluctant to share.

Do any of you have a concert story you wish to share?

(And if you did Deborah Harry, I don’t want to hear it.)

Myself: I went to concerts and went home. Nothing remarkable there.
