Something I feel strongly about (that's bad grammar, however...)

Watch this. It's important.

It is beyond me why Same Sex Marriage is not legal. Not legal. Bizarre.

I cried when I saw that poor little distressed girl with her mums watching the god-freaks hate on them. Utterly vile bigots.

The Eighties...

I remember, back in the Eighties, it would've been possible to have a concert lineup with
King, Queen, Prince and Princess.

LinkKing "Love and Pride"

Queen "Radio Ga Ga"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBUr1pSWTVI

Prince "Raspberry Beret"

Princess "Say I'm Your Number One" (One of my fav performers and songs from the 80s)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlLKNxDbsi8


And all you needed to do to have a Number 1 hit in the 80s was name your song "The Power of Love"

Huey Lewis and the News "The Power of Love"

Frankie Goes to Hollywood "The Power of Love"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShN8UIk5-mw

Jennifer Rush "The Power of Love"

Now for some old school Funk and Soul (and a wee bit of Hip Hop) circa 1985:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_kqJqZMArk

Five Star "Love Take Over"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iYAYGnIbGk

Money in the mail...

Always a good day when there are cheques and gift cards in the mail instead of bills. A double whammy: our tax return PLUS a $20 Myer gift card for me!!

Unless continents collide
Nothin's gonna make me
Break from her side

That's all tonight.
