Time for a secret confession.....

[Runcible Spoon]

I like the Shania Twain song "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" I dunno, I'm a small town girl, and this song just reminds me of the county fair from my childhood in a good way. I think it has great energy. I dunno, I don't really like any other country songs at all except the Devil went down to Georgia. If any of my supposed hipster friends found out, I'd never be able show my face around campus again! Anyone else feeling sheepish and need to purge??

[Inland]

1. Don't worry about it.

Despite the usual impassioned discussions around campus, 99% of popular music has the value of novelty. Enjoy free of guilt and embarrassment. And trump your hipster friends with your hedonism and/or nihilism, laughing in the face of their belief in any innate value in aethetics, ha ha!

[Runcible Spoon]

2. *snarf* yeah!

they're all supposed to be cultural relativists to some degree or another anyway! :evilgrin:

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. ABBA. Dancing Queen. 'nof said.

[Runcible Spoon]

5. ahhh I'm in good company.

I feel better now.

[Marnieworld]

4. I never turn off Barry Manilow's...

Weekend in New England. There I said it. Don't tell anybody ok?

[Runcible Spoon]

6. your secret's safe with me!

;)

[Marnieworld]

7. I also sing with it passionately

Damn. My car concerts are my private joy.

[Red State Rebel]

14. Barry's "Even Now" makes me cry - reminds me of my parents.

They both died by the time I was 23 and there are so many times I still think about them and wish they could see whats going on in my life, my kids and now my grandaughter.

Barry Manilow - Even Now
Even now
When there's someone else who cares
When there's someone home who's waiting just for me
Even now I think about you as I'm climbing up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she won't see
That even now
When I know it wasn't right
And I found a better life than what we had
Even now I wakeup crying in the middle of the night
And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad

Chorus:

Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it's still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
And how I wish you knew
Even now

Even now
When I never hear your name
And the world has changed so much since you been gone
Even now I still remember and the feeling's still the same
And the pain inside of me goes on and on
Even now

Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it?s still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
And God I wish you knew
Some how
Even now

17. aww that is so sad..

but also very sweet :hug:

[AlCzervik]

8. I love the Carpenter's, can't help it

and I'm on the top of the world!

[Runcible Spoon]

9. good for you!

are the Carpenters considered hokey? Don't know much about em..

[AlCzervik]

10. Hokey by many i'm sure

but good stuff imo.

[Bunny]

21. They may be hokey, but very few singers today have a voice

that could match Karen Carpenter. It was a real shame that she died so young.

[Scooter24]

11. I love Disney Songs

:D They bring out the child inside

[Runcible Spoon]

12. any in particular that make you cry?

;)

[Scooter24]

16. kiss the girl..

haha...First time me and my boyfriend kissed...

loooong story..:P

[Bleacher Creature]

13. Are these message boards archived???

If so, your confession will be engraved in cyberspace forever.

Ok fine -- I'm a 31 year old guy who likes that Ashlee Simpson song. Maybe she lip synced the whole thing -- that way I'm actually a fan of some unknown, struggling singer.

[Runcible Spoon]

15. I think the archived threads are only searchable by donors...

so at least teh Freepers won't know about us after this thread goes to sleep with the fishes

[cleofus1]

18. no need to feel bad...

all music is good. I listen to everything from John Sousa to the Sex Pistols...The Carpenters to Led Zepplin...it's all good.

oh by the way...Shania is a hack and Charlie Daniels is a rightwing asshole...(what were you thinking?)

[fleabert]

19. I love the Dixie Chicks, and not just their politics, but their music too.

I am all over the place on music. I have been known to secretly enjoy a Britney song occasionally, when I am all alone of course. don't tell.

[jdots]

20. After a verse and chorus of any C&W ballad

i always have an urge to abuse myself sexually.
IS THAT SO WRONG ?

[cleofus1]

22. be honest...

you don't need an excuse to abuse yourself sexually....

[Smeggy]

23. oooh errr
