"A Man and a Woman" by Ferrante and Teicher

Here it is almost 2 years later and I'm trying to finish some of these old draft posts.  I only vaguely remember some cutesy story on KUTV about a monkey and a chicken loving (?) and taking care of each other (?).  It is heartbreaking that people get down on other people for loving each other even if they are different... or the same (gay).  LOVE IS LOVE!!!

#LoveIsLove

These are my original notes:

KUTV monkey and chicken in zoo

SueZQ a monkey and a chicken go into a bar....

Dr. Norman Spack TED talk

This is the TED talk that I saw back then and watching it today made be cry.  The last two years have seemed like a constant battle for transgender rights with that stupid orange fucker in the White House.  I'm so tired!!

Anyway I don't remember why I picked this song for this day.  Very possibly I had played a Ferrante and Teicher record that day and enjoyed hearing this song.  Or perhaps I was trying to play off the TED talk topic.  I've no idea now!   I do know I have *ALWAYS* loved this song / tune!!

"Don't Wanna Talk About Love" by Danielle Brisebois

This is another post I'm filling in almost two and a half years after I started it.  There is no way I could remember how my picking this song for today came about.

Another cool thing about this video is the Mercury Cougar she is driving is the same year and color as my friend Randy Underwood owned back in the day.  Except his had black racing stripes on the hood.

"This Town" by Nicky Holland

Another one of the great songs off of on of my favorite albums of all time!  I had it in the car a few days and I played that CD over and over and over...

"Backyard" by Daphne Willis

I must've been going to put these on ksl.com or something

Here it is the end of May 2019 and I haven't finished this post, so frustrating.  Thankfully I at least put a couple of notes in the draft post to remember something about this day.

I was at the Women's Red Rock Music Festival and first heard and met Daphne Willis there.  Just incredible!

But when I got home SueZQ told me that our new neighbor across the street and a companion showed up at our door in "Home Teacher Mode" and asked for "James Edwards" (my dead name)..  I went WTF?!?!?  I was so pissed about the whole Prop 8 think in California, that I had that name removed from the church records... apparently only in theory.

The church sent me a letter saying they had removed my name from church records.  So how did the new neighbors have my dead name.  I marched over there today (wearing my beautiful white lace dress) and after asking around I got to the ward clerk and explained the situation.  He said "Let's see" and whipped out his cell phone and looked at the membership and sure enough, James was still in there.

So if anybody actually believes the church removed their name, I would say thin again!  There used to be a sigh in one of the junkyards I got parts from that said "Honesty is the best policy.  Ours is second best.".  Obviously that is the Mormon Church's is second best too.

#Prop8



I woke up with this song stuck in my head, such a great song!
Stake Center find out about james

"Auberge" by Chris Rea

The Naked Truth and The Light

Update 11-Mar-2019:  Added the photo above from one of the most bizarro videos ever!

Original Post:

I'm filling in this draft post almost two and a half years after I started it.  There is no way I could remember what led to my picking this song for today.

I bought the "Auberege" CD when I was in Bremin, Germany.  I'm not sure if I still have it or not, it could be one that Kim ran off with.

I think this video is pretty fun.  I love the outfit the dancer is wearing in it.
