MEMEmememememe

Having now spotted this little activity over at edders' I don't care for your tone site, and at Bob's site, I Should Be Laughing - I decided to plunge into the meme pool myself.

Try it yourself. It's harder than you might expect. The instructions are to answer each question using only song titles from one artist.

I chose Annie Lennox. In part because her music has always resonated with me. She's also one of the most talented and beautiful musical souls I've ever heard.

Out of necessity, I may have cheated a bit - citing both solo tracks as well as Eurythmics tracks. But what the heck - are the Interweb police gonna come get me, huh?

My backup was Pat Benatar, but her high energy girl rocker style seemed at odds with the calm place I've reached in my life. Although, she will always have a special place in my heart as the one who helped save a 16 year old boy through her words and music.

So, without further ado:

* Are you male or female? – Missionary Man

* Describe yourself – Sisters Are Doing it for Themselves

* How do you feel about yourself – There Must Be an Angel Playing With My Heart

* If you could go anywhere, where would you go – Into the West

* Favorite form of transportation – Walking on Broken Glass

* Your best friend is – Right by Your Side

* Your favorite color is – A Whiter Shade of Pale

* What's the weather like – Here Comes the Rain Again

* If your life was a TV show, what would it be called – Sweet Dreams are Made of This

* What is life to you – The Miracle of Love

* What is the best advice you have to give – Never Gonna Cry Again

* If you could change your name, what would it be – Angel

* Your favorite food – Little Bird

Once again, my brutha, you have astounded me with yet another thing we have in common. Spooky.

I blasted The Eurythmics and Annie Lennox (solo) throughout the 80s and 90s and still love her.

Great answers!

Boy that is a tough one to do. I am used to the easy ones where I tell you all fascinating things about myself that you didn't already know.

Okay I am a sheep and had to do it too.

This is the interweb blog meme police...step away from the blog and place your hands atop your head. Although you chose one artist you have cited songs from her numerous incarnations. As punishment you must rewrite your post citing only Anita Bryant Songs.

P.S. What happened to Fernando? Did he die? He died didn’t he I just know it? “Oh Fernando”

Love it!
I am a huge Annie Lennox fan, and these songs are perfect.
Great list!

Fernando sold out to the MAN and began to threaten to carry advertisements if I didn't upgrade my Llama account.

He was a bad Llama.
