So because I had a meeting tonight (that went on and on and on), I am still winding down enough to sleep and I just realized that my cable company has been mucking about with the channel line-up. VH1, a channel I never watch, has been moved into the midst of channels I *do* watch. And I got sucked into watching the "40 Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs... Ever!" (which has really bad grammer, but is surprisingly acurate).
And I just realized that 90% of these songs are from the eighties and early nineties. Yep - during my formative teenage-to-early-twenties years. Between the hair and the eighties style I am laughing my ass off, as well as feeling nostalgic for school dances. Lots of Journey, Foreigner, and NKotB - Do you remember NKotB? They were *huge* when I was in high school. Man, the eighties had *bad* bad BAD love songs.
I kind of agree with everything they said about the Sting/Bryan Adams/Rod Stewart trio of "All for Love" - the semi-homoerotic menage a troi Three Musketeers love theme from 1993. Also making the list? Meatloaf with "I'd do anything for love... but I won't do that." Topping the list? Truly by Lionel Richie... Wow. God, that was bad. I have just had it proved to me yet again why I don't watch VH1... Programming like this.
On other TV that I saw bits of tonight - Junk Brothers on HGTV. How cool is this? They go trash picking and pick up likely things. Then the refurbish what ever garbage furniture people had put out for trash collection. They tell you what they plan to do and then they take you through the process of making the trash into treasure. Then - THEN Do they sell their magnificent freebie? Not they Don't!!! they take it back to the original owners and ring the doorbell and run like hell. Only in Canada! It's like they're saying, see this old bureau you threw out? We've made it into something useful and pretty for you!!! Don't want that old stove? No worries! We'll turn it into an amazing grill just for you to cook out on!
And besides being brothers and having cute Canadian accents, they are rather nice to look at, in a pure "regular guy" kind of way.
