The Music
in My Head
Here
the Lady Pirate Valentina
invites
you to listen to the jukebox in her head
These
are some of my favorite lines from songs, some of the songs
that
play randomly in the jukebox in my head, favorite songs,
favorite
bands, blurbs, favorite books, authors, and other stuff.
No
wavs, midis, MP3s or any of that stuff!
Go
to Napster for it! Well....we
shall see how the court case
works
out!
Some
Favorite Song Lines
The
line, the song, the artist
The
obvious:
"Yes, I am
a pirate, 200 years too late
the cannons
don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over
forty victim of fate
Arriving
too late"
"I've done
a bit of smugglin' and I've run my share of grass
I made enough
money to buy Miami but I pissed it away too fast
Never meant
to last"
A
Pirate Looks At Forty
Jimmy Buffett
"Well they
say you're from down South and when you open your mouth
You always
seem to put your foot there"
London Homesick
Blues
Jerry Jeff
Walker
"Learn to work the
saxophone, I play just what I feel,
Drink scotch whiskey
all night long, and die behind the wheel"
Deacon Blue

"The only time that
I feel at ease is swinging up and down on a coconut tree"

Recently
Read:
Boy's
Life
Robert
R. McCammon
A young child's
outlook of rural Alabama in the 1960's. Discovering
the Beach Boys,
dealing with bullies, becoming aware of the
real world with
it's lost innocence. Revolves around an unsolved
murder that he witnessed.
Amusing is the dealings with grandparents
and other 'authorities'
who are not quite 'all there'. The Baptist
minister story involving
'devil music' is hilarious!
The
Importance of Being Earnest
Oscar
Wilde
This book
is a collection of plays including
the title.
Offers a great look at life in the late 1800's.
I enjoyed it very
much.
Kink
Dave
Davies
Wow! this was a
great book! Took me back
to the 60's.
What a life experience this man, founder of
the rock band, The
Kinks, has had!

Kick

Carl
Hiassen (columns)
He speaks the truth,
makes me disgusted to live in Miami!
Sick

Carl
Hiassen
Very funny, and
dramatic, and political, the usual Hiassen
Dave
Barry is from Mars and Venus
Dave
Barry (Columns)
Dave's typical humor,
I laughed alot!
Hen
Frigates - Joan Druett
Interesting history
of women on board ships in the 1600-1800's
On
the Damed Human Race - Mark Twain
An enlightened man
in an unenlightened age
I
Recommend:
Don't
Stop the Carnival
Herman
Wouk
Recently
made into a musical by Mr. Wouk and Jimmy Buffett,
this
is a very funny and sad view of a man's attempt
to
escape to the Caribbean and own a hotel. Due to Ed's
recent
employment at the new Hyatt on St. Lucia, and the
stories
that he tells me, I can say this book is
absolutely
TRUE!
Gone
for Good
Mark
Childress
A
rock star pilots his plane, while under the influence of
certain
herbal delights, to an island somewhere unknown
where
he runs into the likes of Marilyn Monroe, JFK,
Emilia
Earhart, (or does he?) and can not leave.
Very
amusing book!
Weird
Florida
Eliot
Kleinberg
A
collection of strange places, sites, people, and
happenings
in this weird state.
Florida,
My Eden
Fredric
B. Stresau
A
'must have' for anyone who ever plans to plant
anything
in the ground or in pots in Florida!
A
book you will refer to again and again.
I
Read and Disliked:
The
Reef
Nora
Roberts
Get
real, no one is that smart and beautiful, nor does
one
find treasure that easily! If two people clash
as
much as the two main characters, they would drown
each
other, not fall in love. I was embarrassed that
I
bought this book
Worst
Book Ever:
Bonfire
of the Vanities
Tom
Wolfe
Do
not confuse this author with Thomas Wolfe of "Look
Homeward
Angel". Not even close. This book was the worst
waste
of a tree that I have ever run across!
What
a piece of garbage, stupid plot, stupider characters!
I
threw it in the trash!
Cat to Rimmer: What is it?
Rimmer: It's a rent in the space-time continuum.
Cat to Lister: What is it?
Lister: The stasis room freezes time, you know, makes time stand still.
So whenever you have a leak, it
must preserve whatever it's leaked into, and it's leaked into this room.
Cat to Rimmer: What is it?
Rimmer: It's singularity, a point in the universe where the normal laws
of space and time don't apply.
Cat to Lister: What is it?
Lister: It's a hole back into the past.
Cat: Oh, a magic door! Well, why didn't you say?
BTL Guide: As ordered, sir, small fish. Are
you sure you wouldn't like your fish cooked?
Cat: No, sir! I like my food to move! (singing) I'm going to eat you little
fishy...
The
# 1 TV show of all time!
Red
Dwarf
My favorite character, the Cat aka Danny John-Jules
On some positive-thinking PBS channels, check
it out!
Can it be??? YES!
"Make love and be merry, for tomorrow
you may catch some disgusting skin disease."
Edmund: Well, I use the word man in an as broad
as possible sense because we all know
God made man in his own image. It would be a sad look out for Christians
around the
globe if God looked anything like you, Baldrick.
BLACK ADDER
Rowan Atkinson
On BBC-America and some positive-thinking
