One thing I've noticed... [More:]is when you're DJing, the moment you put on that first 80's anthem, it's all over - people just wanna hear all 80's stuff from then on. And that sucks. It sucks that people can't just trust their DJ to keep them dancing. I don't know that there's any way around this. One guy asked me to play "Celebrate". That's right, "Celebrate" by Kool and the Gang. I told him if he wanted to hear it then go crash the wedding down the street.

Now you go...
Is that people add extra words to pad their sentences. An example of this occured a few minutes ago: the cashier at Subway said "That'll be $5.95 today."

Today???

What's wrong with Celebrate?

JL - it's up there with YMCA for overplayed wedding songs. It is a good song though, isn't it?

Also, "Can I see your ID realquick?"

Real quick? Obviously, since I've taken my coat off and sat down at this bar, I'm not in any hurry. Take your time.

Oh, hellbient, I thought I was being directed along with the request maker to go on down the street.

umm. . .those inflatable holiday decorations really are a blight.

And it's more than ok for I think just the second or third year around here to say/print/advertise the word Christmas instead of Holiday. National Chain Drugstore employees wearing Merry Christmas Buttons and signs saying "Yes We Have Christmas Stamps!" I persist with Holiday, fwiw.

You know what kills me about the whole War On Christmas thing? The same people who complain about not being wished Merry Christmas at Target are the same ones who complain that Christmas has gotten too commercial.

One thing I've noticed.. People can't be honest at funerals. Everyone was either a "saint", or "a truly wonderful man" or some other such rose-colored nonsense. Would it be so bad to tell it like it is? I think Orson Scott Card had it right with the Speaker for the Dead.

One thing I've noticed... the new Ford Mustang version of KITT sucks.

That is a fucking desecration of the Mustang. Ugh.

Celebrate? Holy fuck. Did you jam a pencil into their eyeball?

What's wrong with Celebrate? It's tacky, ridiculous unfunny disco crap along with 99% of songs of that ilk.

Now you go.

One thing I've noticed is the large number of people who, for some unknown (and perhaps unknowable) reason, can't/won't allow music to just be fun.
