As you all know (all 3 of my readers, lol), I have an XM Radio. Twice in the past week, I have heard Rod Stewart singing Fooled Around and Fell in Love.

Yes. Seriously. Almost as awful as his version of (I shudder thinking of it) Baby It’s Cold Outside that XM played at Christmas time. He did that with Dolly Parton. No shit. (shuddering)

I found the album on Amazon, it’s called Rod Stewart – Still the Same, Great Rock Classics of Our Time. Click the link and go check out the samples…it is really atrocious. As if messing up a classic from the 70’s isn’t enough, he butchers another of my favorite songs of all time (I’ll Stand By You by The Pretenders). Someone. Must. Stop. Him.

Better yet, don’t listen! Click here to listen to the original. OR, if you want to hear a GOOD remake of this classic, download Henry Lee Summer’s version.

I’ve also been getting into Blossom Dearie. She is a great jazz singer and it appears most of her work came out in the 60’s. I found a profile for her on myspace, and had I’m Hip as my profile song for a week or so before myspace took it upon themselves to delete it from that profile. She has such a unique voice and you will probably remember her from Schoolhouse Rock (Unpack Your Adjectives and Figure Eight).

Afraid to say not much going on. I won $50 playing Bingo Friday night, so that was cool! But I have to give most of it to my son to pay for mowing the lawn. Figures.

I found a cool little corner desk at a flea market, so I’m getting ready to move this hulk of a desk out of my room, and trying to minimize it somewhat. I’ve bought a shelf for storage, a plastic tub for hanging file folders, and a magnetic dry/erase board (rather than using my old bulletin board). I will take some “before and after” shots for everyone.
