He would have been 70 years old today! you do have impeccable musical taste, it's great to read the quotes from songs you interlace with your personal stories<BR/><BR/>I think Marvin Gaye would be happy to read you, and now... that's a compliment :D heh hehbereweberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212294373903204510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-16705053233684298212009-04-02T11:52:00.000-04:002009-04-02T11:52:00.000-04:00Yes!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture of Marvin you posted -- I keep that very album cover by my writing desk. He's the very best -- gorgeous, troubled, and dramatic and at peace all at the same time.Michelle's Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769666862403600253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-7708003796716905742009-03-31T14:47:00.000-04:002009-03-31T14:47:00.000-04:00This is where my 'gratefuls' come in handy, Jay. ...This is where my 'gratefuls' come in handy, Jay. Because no matter what horrors the day might bring, as long as I end each night, remembering each thing that I have to be grateful for, nothing ever seems that bad. To me, it is incredibly grounding to do this--and it also keeps me somewhat humble (at least I hope).<BR/><BR/>It sounds as though the retreat was pretty wonderful, with a few exceptions thrown in just to keep you on your toes. Sorry to hear your loss of an iPod (that would kill me) as well as the passport fiasco. <BR/><BR/>I also love Marvin Gaye--I saw him in NYC in the 1980's before he died. I still remember what he wore--it was an incredibly sexy, red silk, lounding robe (ala Hugh Heffner). What a tragedy his life became but at least he left us some good music to remember him by.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you back, Jay!<BR/><BR/>MelindaMelindahttp://blog.melindaville.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-83859759508068301582009-03-31T11:58:00.000-04:002009-03-31T11:58:00.000-04:00Yeah, pretty much all of us in the first world liv...Yeah, pretty much all of us in the first world live a life of privilege whether we know it or not.Delighted Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563861201545761128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-3058783341650777052009-03-31T06:40:00.000-04:002009-03-31T06:40:00.000-04:00Welcome back and Stay Charmed!!!Welcome back and Stay Charmed!!!Sidhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997017630623707478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-47040440607244693092009-03-31T03:17:00.000-04:002009-03-31T03:17:00.000-04:00"You're the Man (pts. 1-2)" is a regular part of m..."You're the Man (pts. 1-2)" is a regular part of my workout plan -- yet the 1972 <I>You're the Man</I> album wasn't released.<BR/><BR/>"Inner City Blues" is another all-time fave.

So many more people could also be happy if they'd just do the same.<BR/>Your talk of paradise & the 3rd world reminds me of something I told my ex years ago; "In this country, you have to be a millionaire to live like a caveman."
