Pogue the expression on your face is great, even if you look a bit pained.  I’m sure you were only reacting to Bruce, once again, taking a photo of you.

Cillaliz I suppose banging your head might be better than burning your hair ;D, depends on how hard one hits their head.  I once banged my head so hard I had a concussion. :o

I'm listening to Ike and Tina. They're rollin' on a river, and they're doing it nice and rough. An example of a perfect rendition of a song...Tina's vocals are HOT, HOT, HOT and so is the arrangement (can't beat those horns). And one cannot separate the song from the visual of her dancing and shimmying all over the place. Iconic, I say.

You have a nun giving you a massage François - unseemly.
OK - my French needs work.
I know your sister has not kicked the bucket.

Oh, we won't talk about this soeur! Oh, no!

(Soeur as in "nun" would be "bonne soeur" in French (Yep!) as not to make the confusion with "sister"! If it's followed by a name, Soeur Sourire, it becomes more explicit.
But since, years ago, nuns were nurses too here, a Soeur could have given massages and messages from God as well!
Class dismissed!)

Almost a Ronnie Milsap reference. (Not that there would be any fans at HHW. They're all too proud like Jason's friend Mary)

Jason remember!
We only blame... Jose here at HHW!

Well, yes, order can be "ordre" but, depending on the context, also "commande" like in English!

I command you to blame Jose!
It is an order! ;D

See! Si, si!
C'est si bon!

Der Brucer is watching a movie on the Sci-Fi Channel, called Pterodactyl.  It's about a group of college students, on a field trip, who encounter one of them there flying reptiles.

Ever notice how coeds in movies are always really pretty, and take their clothes off at the slightest provocation?

I mean, I wasn't really looking when I was in college, but I never noticed that kind of behavior in real life.

I think this means, if you want to meet up with coeds who are really pretty and take their clothes off at the slightest provocation, you should study cinematography.

After listening to two - count 'em, TWO - iconic recordings by Tina Turner ("Proud Mary" and "River Deep, Mountain High"), I wonder if we have ever or will ever have a TOD about songs that we feel would be disserviced by a cover or remake. I know how we all feel about remakes of perfect movies (the "Psycho" remake, for instance), so what about iconic recordings of songs? I, for one, feel that Tina's "Proud Mary" is ten times better than CCR's version, and I've heard several versions of "River Deep, Mountain High" and none compare to Ike and Tina's.

What do you guys think? Sound like a viable TOD?

Movies and "real life" are two different entities

BUT

I'm pretty and I do take off my clothes at the slightest provocation!`

Oh yes, I DO!! ;D

That's the PteroTactyl in me! ;)

Hmmm, I'm toying with the idea of Match.com again.  I haven't dated in a long time and am thinking it wouldn't be all bad to try it again.  I met a couple people on Match.com a few years ago and wasn't real impressed, but the bar scene here just doesn't do it for me....

Reminds me of how I felt about Donny Osmond's versions of
"Puppy Love", "Go Away little Girl". "Too Young", "Why", "Young Love" "Twelfth Of Never", "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and "When I Fall In Love".

The same of Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" and "In My Life".

and Whitney's "Greatest Love Of All".

My pal Jared and I have just made plans to visit the Bronx Zoo next Saturday. I'm very excited - I love the zoo. They have a newish Tiger exhibit that I've yet to see and their Congo Gorilla Forest sounds quite exciting. And it's also time for the Butterfly Garden, which is lovely.

The weather is supposed to be gorgeous (81 degrees and sunny), but if it's raining we're going to visit the Met Museum instead. Either way, a good time.

I actually quite liked Donny's Broadway CD of a few years back. His pop stuff was just awash with sentimental schlock. Dreadful recordings. The originals were way way better.
I prefered the Jackson Five to the Osmonds by far.

I don't detest the Midler and Houston recordings but the earlier recordings by others were better.

I remember a debate on London radio in 1973 as to who had the worst recordings - David Cassidy or Donny Osmond.  Donny won very easily.

I wasn't aware that Whitney's "Greatest Love of All" was a cover. Who sang the original??

Any word on Olivia Newton-John's missing boyfriend?

George Benson had a successful version in 1977. Whitney's was 1981.
