Hey AJ-So my son shares a BD with your idol,huh? Did I mention somewhere that we are huge blue fans and both my son and hubby are musicians? We are gong to the Doheney Beach Blues Festival this weekend,as we do every year and Eric will be there. Cool to met another blues fan...Do you like Tommy Castro?
The name Tommy Castro rings a bell for some reason, but I can't place him right now. My history with Eric's music is mostly in The Animals and some with War, but I hadn't kept track of him in later years.
Yes, you'd mentioned that your husband and son are musicians and that you were proud of both but preferred the music your husband did. Sounds like a friend of mine whose son drummed for Mellencamp from time to time. She was proud of him, and she even liked his the music the band did, though rock isn't one of her favorite genres, but she said that she couldn't believe how LOUD their live concert was even with the earplugs in her ears.
One of the things she thought was especially neat was how, when Dane hit the drums, they flashed.
She's nearing 90 now (hard to believe) and was probably already in her eighties when she went to that concert down in Indianapolis.
Pearl and I go back a long ways because I used to help out in her special education class back when I was in high school, and I remember Dane when he was this adorable little curly-haired, big-eyed kid in horn-rimmed glasses going around the house belting out Beatle songs in his cute, little-boy voice.
Back then, his wonderful big sister, Nancy, was the celebrity in my eyes. She was amazing, and I remember feeling as if I'd just met The Beatles when I met her for the first time. She wasn't a celebrity in the traditional sense, but she had made quite a name for herself at school for being such a game person.
She was a dwarf with some developmental delays and limitations, but Nancy was the type of person who put her best self forward. She was very poised and well-spoken--and perceptive! Amazing young lady! She passed away when we were in our early thirties (she's about 1 1/2 years older than I am).
I'd been hearing about Nancy ever since Pearl came to the other elementary school in our district to teach, and Nancy was one of her students as well. This began when I was in sixth grade, and I actually got to meet her when I was in eighth grade, and the eighth graders from my school went to visit the other school as this was where our high school was, and we were getting introduced to it.in preparation for the following year.
But I was so excited when I got to meet Nancy and talk to her that she was all I could talk about for the rest of the evening!
I could write volumes about Nancy, but I'll sign off for now. And I'm really proud of Dane, too. He looks a lot like Nancy now. Same big, beautiful eyes and expression.
He has his own band now, The Dane Clark Band.
And Pearl was always an amazing teacher who saw each of her students as wonderful, unique, and individuals deserving lots of respect and admiration. We both breathed and dreamed those kids! They were embroidered to our hearts and flowed through our bloodstream.
Hi Miss Comodoness, can you tell me how to be able to invite people to be my friend?
Go to the person's profile, and click on the part that says something like add as a friend. It should send them a comment that you wish to add them as a friend, and then they can say yes or no.
Actually,I find bathroom humor pretty funny too. I just can't figure out why they are so discrminating!!!!

I don't know! I see several guys around here as well--but it does seem strange how your husband and son probably thought that it was funny to pass gas in class intentionally when they were in high school but are completely grossed out by a little critter coming out of a skin pore. I can see some of the really bloody ones as coming across as gross, but what's so gross about something squiggly and cute and/or very athletic and flying out of a pore and hitting the nearest mirror (or person)?
Of course, some bathroom humor is pretty amusing, too. I've even written some poems about that--such as the ones (one apiece) about two elderly sisters (my mom's first cousins) who had embarrassing experiences of unintentionally letting one go in public.
Probably, because this kind of humor is still more in the underground than mainstream!
That's why it's so important to bring this entertainment into the mainstream and let people know that it's okay to love watching a squiggle-worm emerge from a pore while accompanied by those wonderful poppity-pop sound-effects!
For our courage to bring this wonderful activity out in the open, we should, when laid to rest, be given 21-pimple salutes! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! with each POP! followed by a SPLAT! as the ammunition hits and decorates a mirror!
