"Houston." like the city. wow, she wasn't ubiquitous enough for you to remember how to spell her name (which is also the name of a major city)?

a lot of those bands suffered that phenomenon back then for a time before they were more well-established—the cream, the sweet, the fleetwood mac, the spooky tooth, the moby grape etc. i find it terribly amusing..'twould have been great if it recurred in the 90s (the pearl jam, the radiohead), and in fact…

ok, that's just wacky..yet i would still rather listen to simply red than the pixies.

Simply Red was an English soul band that sold more than 50 million albums over a 25-year career.

i do.

i'm apparently the only guy—"gay" for it, too, it would seem—who absolutely notices, and remembers, and delights in, cute things that women wear.

you sure?

newp.

nope.
