Her Name Was Janita

She sings songs. Jazzy songs. Jazzy love songs. Jazzy love songs that sound a lot like each other. Jazzy love songs that sound a lot like each other, differentiated only by the number of times Love, Waiting for Love and Love Me are mentioned.

The man on his knees was making a “low-budget music video that would be up on YouTube in a few hours.” Her words, not mine.

Her fans in the crowd cheered mightily. Don’t ask me why I was there.

As many of you know, my “musical” tastes run the, ahem, very varied gamut of Sting to stand-up comedy (is that even considered music) to news radio (there are musical intermissions?). At least that’s all I have on my iShuffle.

I know it’s sad.

A friend said recently, “Who doesn’t like music?”

Really, I’m the only one?

I get a mite jealous when I hear of people excitedly exchanging iPod playlists. I don’t think anyone wants to iPod me.

Someone? Anyone?

    I don’t really care about music either…especially pop music. I only like weird African music….and now I only listen to Chinese kids’ songs….but I used to be a big fan of Guns’n'Roses….I think it’s because I am getting old….

    ME! I don’t really care for music. Don’t listen to the radio. Don’t own an MP3 and don’t intend to get one.

    But I do get moved by music occasionally.

    Rino & mj: Good to know I’m not the only one!
    hucks: Not much else, really. I listen and RE-listen to the stand-up. I still laugh at the jokes. That’s how sad I am.

    [...] ou fair warning that this is classified as “Hard Core” music. We have already determined that Dot does not do well with music. Throw in a mosh pit, a hard core band, and indistinguishable lyrics [...]
