Now That's What I Call Music
A couple of weekends ago, I made a little trip to my brother's house and had him load up my MP3 player with songs. I did this for 2 reasons: (1) I thought SuperHubby might be going to the hospital and I wanted something to listen to, and (2) I am cheap, and didn't want to pay for the music.
So he downloads a bunch of songs that he had on his computer. One group that he rather enjoys is a local group, The Fire Apes. He enjoys them because his buddy, John Seymour, a teaching and running friend of his, is the lead singer. He actually also knows SuperHubby, but that's not the point.
The Professor (my brother, for those who can't keep up) and sis-in-law (if you can't figure this out, stop reading now - you're just stupid) have tried several times to get us to go to see The Fire Apes play. Unfortunately, it's usually "Hey, they're playing tonight, can you get a sitter and meet us there in 2 hours."
But I was really enjoying their style of music. I listened to a couple of songs. I also listened quite intently to every single 80s song (and Johnny Cash song) he downloaded for me. And then I saw it. My name. Right there on my MP3 player. Sweet.
I have mentioned before how completely un-skilled I am at anything and everything gadgety, which is actually the 3rd reason why I drove 30 minutes to get him to put music on my MP3 player. I was looking at my name and thinking, "Okay, so he has named this group of songs Lori. Makes sense." Then the music started.
Yes, my friends, The Fire Apes have written a song called "Lori." I am pretending it is about me. It's an awesome song and they even spelled my name right, so it doesn't matter that I've never met anyone in the band. They wrote a song about me! How cool is that??!!
Shut it. How many of you have songs written about you? Okay then.

"Watching Scotty Grow" was a song my mom listen to when I was born...
You should direct your readers to www.thefireapes.com so they can hear some of the songs. I'm a little biased because they are my buddies, but I think they make really good music.
I have to admit that I have thought about you when listening to that song (probably because I don't know anybody else named Lori). You should definitely come to a concert. Prof. & SIL dragged us along and we have not regretted it. It's nice to be able to follow a current local group whose music is actually GOOD. However, I can't vouch for the bands that open for them. You should have SIL give you a rendition sometime...
You forgot to metion that you were unable to find all of those awesome songs on your MP3 player when you got home.
SuperHubby is correct - I could not find the songs - but neither could the Professor. (He would have found them eventually, but I didn't feel like sticking around while he tried. Anyway, it made me feel better that I wasn't the only one who couldn't work the MP3.) Of course, I get home and ask SH to find the songs, leave to go to church, and he calls me before my butt hits the seat of the car - because he found them. I love that guy. Especially the part where he tells everyone exactly how electronically challenged I am.
I have!!!!!! and before you aLSO!!
Now THAT is a bad hair day!!!
