I can’t help it. It just wouldn’t be a woman’s blog area without a post like this. I am so sick and tired of…..men. Not that I have had a lot of experience really, mind you, just that, they are so….base….that there is nothing else that sums it up.

I’ve been on the personals for a long time. Put up a pic, and they are flocking. Do they really care about who I am? Of course not. I have the SAME EXACT details I had before about me, now just have a photo and suddenly it’s open season. Sickening.

Men are just so much about pretense. I have never met anyone as fake and artiifical as the common male. Perhaps there are a few gems out there who are just who they are, but I can’t find them. And if you love one of these fellas, it’s worse. They will tell you whatever they think you need to know or want to hear just to keep you at bay until they have time for you.

Sickening.

Today my topic will be The BeeGees.  He will LOVE this one.  First off, this is a very serious topic to me.  This is the music that I love best in the world, not the disco crap everyone thinks of, their early work, more folkie and just all-around great love songs.  My soulmate and I listen to this music and call it “the music” and he’s an urban rapper-type with a not-so good decision-making history, so it proves even very “tough” men can be sensitive. 

We think it’s immortal timeless stuff, Byron will claim that he just can’t stomach a single thing about it.  HOWEVER, I do have a secret to share, and that is that he once listened to some of the older stuff and liked it.  And admitted it.  See, I’ve got the dirt on him more than you think.  Yes, admitted it.

I wish I could remember exactly what song he liked but it’s either “New York Mining Disaster 1941″ or something of that era.  Let me make a few suggestions to any of you who are doubting that this music can be more than falsetto.  I’d suggest ”Elisa,” and probably “Run To Me.”  And if those are not enough, throw in “I’ve Just Gotta Get a Message to You” and “I Started A Joke.”  Of course the quintessential BEE GEES must be “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart,” which, in a recent conversation, many people think the Bee Gees remade it after Al Green.  UH, NO.  They CREATED it.  It’s The BeeGees song to hear if you can only hear one.

Byron, this is what you get for taking off and doing other things this weekend.

Peace!

“I could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow!”  Notice, I don’t have the power to put music here, or the knowledge I don’t THINK, and if that’s true, he probably LIKES that.

And of course, he gets me the 4-cd collection of the BeeGees, just happens to download the whole thing and send it to me….not that HE wants it for himself of course.

The meanie actually came back and taught me how to provide the music, so here it is!!
