assistant: Typing of Journey tunes reminding of girlfriends / boyfriends:
    It can be good.  I prefer wild women, self confident...
    Yep.  There's a rule somewhere that says they have to be. :)
...
    Tis me!  Do you like the Eagles?  Listening to _On the Border_...
...
    I'd agree with you.  Listening to them from "before fame" to _Trial
by Fire_, I like the albums one and all.  ;)
    Music has been shown to trigger very intense memories.  Do you
sometimes hear a song and remember when you first heard it, what you
were doing, feeling, etc.?
Typing of double entendre...
    Ask anyone who has suffered our wrath!  <ROTFL!>
...
    Not so much as I'd wish.  Just turned 44.  Best get started soon,
eh?  I wonder how old the oldest "breakthrough" musician was?
    Not nearly so much as Rick, Martin, and Kenneth. Working on it,
though!
    Then stick in a tape and listen to something you like.
    Do you think they play Aerosmith to death? (Yep, a trick question)
    I think there is another rule that says you have to have some Dire
Straits music...
    My problem with the Spice Girls really isn't with their music, it is
with their trying to pretend they are musicians able to compose music.
As a "production" act, they are good.  Their music isn't bad for the
genre, nor is it outstanding.
    I have a "deal" with the children on the school bus.  They behave
and I play their tapes (radio friendly) on Wednesdays and Fridays. :)
    To each his / her own.  The Rolling Stones have influenced a lot of
musicians.
    Believe me, no one will hold you to what is on the list.  It's just
a little exercise to focus on what people like and why.  <grin>
Typing about listening to Spice Girls as alternative sentencing:
    I've read the Spice Girls...  Nah, nevermind.
    ROTFL!
    Well, those were just friendly reminders about quoting and
overquoting.  <wink>
