Quotation
Of The Week ~ Haruki Murakami: The most important thing we learn in
school is the fact that the most important things can't be learned in
school.
OMG
doesn't Tom Shane of The Shane Company (“your friend in the
jewellery business”) have a boring voice. So monotonous. At least
this week there were new ads from Frank Leta Automotive and The
Goodfeet Store (with branches in St Louis and in Shiloh, Illinois)
and they're always entertaining. I don't know who does the ads for
Ameren Missouri (https://www.ameren.com/missouri)
but she has such a sexy voice, i may be in love.... Still no sign of
Bart, though!
(Just
an aside, i once went to Shiloh, Illinois – and i love Illinois
almost as much as i love Missouri – because i thought it was the
site of a famous Civil War battle. Er, wrong again! That was Shiloh,
Tennessee. Duh!)
But,
enough about the ads and my poor research skills and on to matters of
secondary importance: the music. The show definitely merits a grade
of “A” this week. There really was only one annoying song – and
i find virtually everything by Blood, Sweat & Tears after
Al Kooper quit the band to be positively painful – and a very few
that were merely ordinary (Henry Lee Summer, anyone?). Otherwise, it
was brilliant: the first hour alone included four songs i love (Moody
Blues, Genesis, King Crimson and Chicago). After that, oh, too many
to mention. Again, it was to some degree like listening to my own
record collection. If you shove me up against a wall and say, choose
a favourite, i think i'd have to go with the Eagles' song. But that
could change in five minutes....
As
usual, the program was the highlight of my week and, as usual, it was
over far too soon.
