I think that you should add advocate/lawyer/something similar to your already impressive list of talents because you just defended Top 40 in a brilliant manner.<BR/><BR/>I'll miss seeing you tonight--hubby is on duty at the firehouse and it's a school night.

This was a great list, Marilyn. I loved it! I enjoy all sorts of music, and okay, I'll admit it. If I'm in the car on Sunday morning I'll tune in to Ryan Seacrest's Top 40 countdown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-88323546175271100172008-09-01T20:04:00.000-05:002008-09-01T20:04:00.000-05:00Marilyn, I'm listening to XM right now, in fact.

I want it in my real car now :).<BR/><BR/>Sandra and L.A.~LOL, you two!! I've gotta admit, it was MUCH harder trying to come up with good Top 40 examples from today than from the 70s and 80s. I miss those musical eras. And, yeah, I also miss the cool shoes! Here's hoping those retro, black, knee-high platform boots make a comeback.

The new stuff . . . not so much. Take me back to the 70s and leave me happy. Of course, that era wouldn't appeal to LA. I have shoes older than she is. Laugh, LA, you know it's true. You also know that I probably still have them stuck in the back of a closet. <BR/><BR/>My favorite world now is soundtracks. Can't get enough when I'm writing.K.M.

I just can't listen to the vocal gymnastics that are so popular with some singers.
