The Summer Jams Playlist

Theme Song of the Month:

Heard this again recently; Rik Emmett really captures the feeling a fan gets from some songs that just grab you by the heart & squeeze. Some are so relatable, they don’t ever let you go . . . Go listen to this again.

Magic Power
by Triumph

Somethin's at the edge
of your mind,
you don't know
what it is -
Somethin' you were
hopin' to find
but your not sure
what it is -
Then you hear the music
and it ALL
comes crystal clear
The music does the talkin'
says the things
you want to hear

CHORUS:
I'm young,
I'm wild
and I'm free
I got the magic power
of the music in me

She climbs into bed,
pull the covers overhead
and turns
her little radio on
She's had a rotten day
so she hopes the DJ's
gonna play
her favorite song
It makes her feel
much better,
brings her closer
to her dreams
A little magic power
makes it better
than it seems

She's young now,
she's wild now,
she wants to be free
She gets the magic power
of the music in me

If you're thinkin' it over
but you just can't
sort it out
Do you want someone
to tell you
what they think
it's all about?
Are you the one and only -
who's sad and lonely,
reachin' for the top?
Well the music keeps you goin'
and it's never gonna stop
never gonna stop
never gonna,
never gonna
NEVER GONNA STOP!!!

The world is full of compromise,
and infinite red tape,
But the music's got the magic,
it's your one chance for escape
So turn me on -
turn me up -
IT'S YOUR TURN
TO DREAM
A little magic power
makes it better than it seems

CHORUS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to meet:

Luckily, I've met some of the best musicians (STYX, among others) and F R I E N D S that I could ever have!!! There have even been some great teachers along the way - you KNOW who you are! (No, Rick, I haven't forgotten about you! How is the band doing?)

So, for those I haven't yet had the pleasure to meet:
Sharon Osbourne
(THE artist management GENIUS! Will you be my mentor? Seriously!)
Steve Perry (musical enigma)
Cher (strongest woman I know of, I've admired her all my life)
Chad Kroeger (under-rated, underestimated rocker - brilliant!)
Johnny Depp! (How can I forget such a talented actor?)

You know who would make THE most fun next-door neighbor, IMHO? Steven Tyler! Since I can't afford *his* neighborhood, he'll have to come slummin' in mine! : ) Steven, how about a bar-b-q?

As for meeting the "life of the party" type people, and some of the funniest comedians I know: Wayne Brady (who is an improv mastermind!!), Steven Wright (I love it when he cracks himself up!), and Gallagher (who's take on absolute reality is sadly hysterical)! Sorry Gallagher, you'll have to party at someone else's house - I can't afford the cleaning bill for you! LOL!

Others too numerous to mention. . . I love meeting fun, smart, creative, and interesting people!!!

Do "MCDREAMY's" really exist?

Music:

STYX
Journey (with Steve Perry)
Damn Yankees
Loverboy
Default
Kevin Chalfant
Nickleback
Def Leppard
Aerosmith
Creed
Night Ranger
REO Speedwagon
Eagles
Theory of a Deadman
Bon Jovi
Submersed
Puddle of Mudd
Nearly EVERY 80's "hair" band
Gregg Rolie
Ratt
Firehouse
Motley Crue
Cher
Social Burn
This list could go on all day. . . . .

Movies:

"Classic" Classic: Gone with the Wind (Scarlett kicks booty!)

Action: any Lethal Weapon

Thinking movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind & Butterfly Effect

Dumb humor, when you are in the mood for dumb humor: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Yes, I own it, yes, I still laugh!

Romance/Chick Flick: Untamed Heart

Classic Comedy: Arthur &
Ferris Buehler's Day Off

Comedy: Mean Girls (the truth hurts, lol)

Weird movie you have to see to believe: Vanilla Sky

Social Commentary that's not too preachy: Crash & What's Eating Gilbert Grape? (Trust me, RENT IT!!)

Tear-Jerker: Mask

Television:

Grey's Anatomy
(And hey, I was a Dempsey fan from back in the early 90's, ya bunch of slowpokes!)

What About Brian?

Behind the Music (bring it back!!)

Mad About You
(Anyone remember the subtle humor of Paul Reiser? The early seasons were a scream - I recommend his first book. Just don't read it while eating - you'll laugh so hard you'll spit your drink across the room! Been there, done that.)

REAL music videos
(Anyone remember the oldies but goodies? With real storylines or concert shots?)

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
(If you have not seen the Ross "The Intern" Mathews segments on this show - you are missing out! Ross rocks!)

ER
(PLEASE give this show a DNR; I'm only watching to see how it ends!!!)

College courses take up so much time... I used to watch more...now it's all background noise while I'm ...

Books:

Susanne's Diary for Nicholas - James Patterson
I love escapsim: "Public Secrets" by Nora Roberts
Stephen King! Yeah, gotta include the Master of Horror, though there's only been about 5 times in the 50 or so novels of his that I've read where I've scared the pants off myself! Do NOT read Stephen King alone, at night, in bed, during a thunderstorm. At least, I'd advise against it.
Dean Koontz is another excellent writer. Being the total sucker for any dog on the planet, my first recommendation to start you off in Koontz-land is "The Watchers". Incredibly interesting - but not much on scary.
And when you gotta have trash (and who doesn't need a trashy novel now and then), you must try Jackie Collins. FUN!
Best book I wanted to read for classic category (and got the "reason" through class - Thanks NF): Lolita by Nabokov
Best classic to read for pleasure: Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Biographies: The Doors, Led Zepplin, Motley Crue (The Dirt), Aerosmith, etc.

Heroes:

Anyone who has found their "One Thing" in life, and is working to go after it.

Creative people who can express themselves so it resonates with hundreds or thousands of people! I'd love to be able to do that!
