 And the theme today


Love Songs or Songs about Breaking Up or a combo of the the two


I’ve done love songs before, more than once, so today I’ll do break up songs.  People have different ways of dealing with a break up.

This first song deals with a cycle of breaking up, reuniting, then breaking up again.

  

Let’s hear from some strong women.  Gloria Gaynor found her strength.

  

Kelly Clarkson found her life improved

  

Who was the subject of Carly’s song?

  

Pink apparently misplaced her husband

  

Don’t get on Carrie’s bad side

  




CCR heard some rumors 


  

Rod came to realize the relationship wasn’t good for him 

  

Roxette  knew it was over


  

Billy Ray didn’t care what anyone said about him

  

Neil didn’t want to break up 

  

Yeah, breaking up is hard to do.  It hurts.  But sometimes it’s for the best.  And break ups produce great songs, don’t they?

    Perfect playlist of break up songs! "You're So Vain" and "Maggie May" trigger many memories. ♥

    Great songs..love Pink who is more empowering than Kelly and Carrie who need to see a psychiatrist before going to jail. Love that Carly Simon song which, I believe, it's about Warren Beatty

    Oh the memories from college that Maggie May and You're So Vain bring up. But my favorite today was Pink's song - too bad I couldn't blast it on full volume because my laptop doesn't do full volume - oh well!

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
