I know, I'm anal (and/or an asshole), take your pick. Cool


I agree. We must follow the rules. I thought it was supposed to be simply the name with no other qualifiers. I think it narrows the focus a little more and makes the thread more interesting.

It's actually "Hey Julie" which would disqualify it, based on the strict interpretation of the rules. Nice pick, though. That's a GREAT song.

I'm suprised nobody mentioned the Stones classic "Angie." Or Barry Manilow's "Mandy."

Some feminists fall in line with the communitarians. Those folks tends farther toward the conservative side of the spectrum than the liberal side. But their version of feminism might not be the version most people recognize.

It really makes people want to comment in a thread when you insult them right from the start. How about I make some terrible blanket statements about conservatives? I'm sure you'd enjoy being called a right-wing fascist, oil and war hungry religious zealot with conflicting views regardling death penalty and abortion, SUV driving, no education having, etc. etc. etc. You get the point? This is not a thread about politics, as I'm sure there are already some on here. Keep your liberal bashing out of the forums where it doesn't apply.

I withdraw that statement then. Sorry, sometimes I tend to take things way too seriously so please excuse me since I didn't know you well enough to know that was a joke.

"Help Me Mary" - Liz Phair. A tuneful riff
"Karen" - The National. an upbeat dirge
"Lolita" - Prince. Fun
