Last night

I went to the open mike. As expected, school being out and all, there were very few people there. I played a safety set, something I need to stop doing. Mostly I need to get some new songs written.

Standards
Low Self Esteem
Crank Generation
Hey Dad (I've been doing that one a lot lately)
How Can I Miss You?
Ghosts

A couple of the folks in the audience tended to stare at me a little baffled, but that's pretty common. I had a nice time.

The Most Important Question Of The Day

[Poll #1197952]

(no subject)

Here are the rules.

Answer only one quote.

If you answer more than one I will delete your reply. If there are quotes still not answered the next day I will open it up to any and all guesses.

Most weeks there is a theme. If there is not a theme I will tell you. The theme is open to guess even if you have guessed a quote.

There is a theme this week, and you can blame fredhuggins for it

You can also blame exapno for beating you all to it. The theme is Tim Curry movies (and all of the quotes are by his characters as well)

Don't use a search engine (like this can be enforced). If you don't know, you don't know. Maybe next week you will.

You must either be signed into LJ, or say who you are (in case you are a friend of mine who is not on LJ). All anonymous answers will be deleted (hey, I'm obsessive, I want to know who guesses these). Oh, and don't guess as a reply to someone else's guess, on a busy day that makes it hard for me to spot your answer.

If you don't know Bo, you don't know ...

RIP Bo Diddley

What is your favorite song with the Bo Diddley beat, or variation thereof?

Mine is probably Moving Away From The Pulsebeat by the Buzzcocks, although I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow is awfully good.

Here's a concept

In a tired state, wildcard9 saw today's movie quiz as being about Tim "Conway" movies.

So ... what if Tim Conway had played Frank N Furter ???
