George Carlin: White people got no business playing the blues ever, at all, under any circumstances. Ever, ever, ever. What the fuck do white people have to be blue about? "Banana Republic ran out of khakis"? "The espresso machine is jammed"? "Hootie and the Blowfish are breaking up"?

That's really what country is, White blues. It was certainly derived from it.

Thanks, all. What strikes me is we don't lose the contract until April, but they let us know 2 1/2 weeks before Christmas. Could have waited until after January. They ARE giving everyone else a chance to look within and outside the company for other work so that's a plus. Still, irks me that we have to know now. I've already updated my resume and I'm on the market again.

#134 - Todd Rundgren - Bang the Drum All Day

Do I really need to explain? (This was at the position previously for the record. Funny how that works out!)



#133 - Chris Issak - Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing

Funny how Chris Issak always has to come up with songs to go with his videos!



#132 - INXS - Need You Tonight

One of the bands from the 80's I still kinda miss!



#131 - Nickelback - Rockstar

Yeah, I know! But the songs pretty catchy! Where's Wolf, he'd be all over this!!

I'd rather hear as soon as possible to have more time to start looking.
Either way, good luck with the search!

Good to hear.

Yeah, just the whole two weeks before Christmas thing kinda ruined the holiday a little. January still would have been soon enough. Oh well!

Todd Rundgren - Bang the Drum All Day
YEP!
Chris Issak - Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing
First time hearing. Sounds like someone doing an unplugged cover of a George Thorogood song.
INXS - Need You Tonight
Cool and slick and secksee.
Nickelback - Rockstar
I will say that I like two songs from their 2017 album Feed The Machine. Anything before that, I just can't. I remember trying to like "Never Again" back in the day, but on my third listen, I just couldn't.

Nope. I got the impression it was "let's make a movie showing Tom Cruise is straight because of all these gay rumors, he can just pork Nicole Kidman for 2 hours, then divorce her in real life a couple years later". So I never bothered.

#130 - Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue

We gonna rock down to.........



#129 - Megadeth - 99 Ways to Die

You can tell a lot of this list is from my metalhead years




#128 - Depeche Mode - People Are People

A favorite from the early(ish) years.




#127 - Sheryl Crow - Anything but Down

Don't have a whole lot from the Lilith Fair set, but I always did like Sheryl Crow.




#126 - Journey - Separate Ways

Another one I could probably take a considerable amount of crap for. Or not, who knows!
