On my iPod - Artists Beginning With "S"
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at 8:11PM
Styx - "Renegade" - how many songs do you recall that actually use the line "the jig is up?" When I played sports in high school, this song is one of my all-time favorite "get pumped up" songs. Sadly...I have nothing to get "pumped up for" anymore...
Sting - "Love is the Seventh Wave" - I loved the police when I was growing up...and Sting was one of the few performers that got even better when he went solo. Besides that...I dig the name...Sting...how very cool to have one name (like Cher and Bono).
Steve Martin - "Dentist" - from the musical, Little Shop of Horrors. One of my favorite dentist "clips" from a movie..."there he is boys...the leader of the plaque."
Steve Camp - "Abandoned to God" - one of my favorite Christian albums of all time. He is anti-music establishment, plays small venues, and writes great music!
Sergio Mendes - "The Fool on the Hill" - more cheesy sixties music!
Quietly making noise,
Fletch

Come on, I definitely think you should play a little Styx when you're going in for an extraction. You patients would dig it.
we are big police, sting and steve camp fans at our house, too. :) but i have no idea about your other musical selections! :)

i never thought about music prior to dentistry...of course i have my favorite dental hymns for my patients..."crown him with many crowns" and "there is a fountain filled with blood"
I thought of you when I read this. Does it give you any ideas?
Court Sides With Fun-Loving Dentist Over Tusk Prank
OLYMPIA, Wash. — An oral surgeon who temporarily implanted fake boar tusks in his assistant's mouth as a practical joke and got sued for it has gotten the state's high court to back up his gag.

What, no Stevie Wonder or Stryper?
Not sure about STYX, but with you all the way on Steve Camp (does the devil shake when you get down on your knees to pray?) and Sting (I only know you as Fletch, seems to me like a one name moniker).
I don't have a whole lot of music on my iPod, so this sort of posting wouldn't work for me at all...S_cott Brown, S_proul, R.C. Jr., etc.
By the way, you're still on the desktop, only now you're tiled instead of stretched...4 times the delight.
oh...but i do have stevie wonder...and stryper (on vinyl). never considered the whole uni-name fletch thing either...i'm ahead of myself...
by the way...i also have the s_cott brown and the s_proul (jr and sr) on the ipod.
and i'm glad to be on your desktop...let me know when you are bored of that and i can send you other less flattering pictures of me!

Less flattering? Like with tusks?
As an MK I purchased "Yellow and Black Attack" on vinyl while on a shopping trip to the island of Curacao (part of the Netherland Antilles in the Carribean). I donated it a few months ago to Salvation Army.
My favorite song came from Soliders Under Command:
[Verse 1]
We're gonna rock and have a good time
Tonight's the night, the night we move
Together we will stand to rock the land
We're gonna rock for something new
We're gonna rock for something true
Tonight's the night so let's lift up our hands
[Chorus]
Jesus, King, King of Kings
Jesus, makes me wanna sing
[Verse 2]
He makes me want to jump around
He keeps my feet above the ground
Tonight the night it's best to rock the land
We're gonna rock for something new
We're gonna rock for something true
Tonight's the night so let's lift up our hands
Yeah, those were the days...when I could actually sing that high...
Sting is BETTER solo? You're crazy? Talk about put be to sleep English boy. In the Police, he rocked! Solo, he wimped. Sure, there a few good songs by him (BTW, "Set Them Free" was written while he was on tour with the Police as a regretted response to "Every Breath".)
I grew up with the Police and absolutely loved them. When they broke up, I was really bummed. Not bummed like when Millie Vanilie disbanded, but bummed that a true rocking band was done.
Styx. Ya, another great band. I played "Paradise Theater" into the ground and was one of the few vinyls I had to purchase a second time from destroying it by playing it so much. Yes, it was the best of times. "Half Penny, Full Penny" was the best song on that album.
Sting has seasoned well like a fine red wine.
