[...] Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi everyone....I'm watching the Superbowl and enjoying the half-time show. Tom Petty is one for the books from my high school days. Ooooops, showing my age Anyway, he sang one of his old famous songs "Won't Back Down" and I thought everyone could relate to the words in one way or another. Brought tears to my eyes as I was thinking of all of you as he sang it. To all of us working so hard to regain our day in the sun...here's the word's of inspiration via Mr. Tom Earl Petty.... Well I won't back down No I won't back down You could stand me up at the gates of Hell But I won't back down No I'll stand my ground Won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground And I won't back down. Hey, baby. There ain't no easy way out. Hey yeah, I will stand my ground. And I won't back down. Well I know what's right I got just one life In a world that keeps on pushin' me around But I'll stand my ground And I won't back down. *Keep on pushin on everyone!!! Our sunshine awaits us Tracy (tlw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yeah Linda I have to say that's the best half-time show I've seen in years. I'm 44 yrs. "young" so I totally enjoyed a show from such a talented artist from my era. Enjoy the rest of the game. Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Br...] Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Beeper, I love that song. It's very powerful. It evokes reverence and silence whenever I hear it. Now Marnie, I love Matchbox's song too, but I HAVE to sing out loud every time I hear it. Great tune. This one is a classic feel-good song for most people I would guess. It's summer time too, but it's good for me year round! Sing it loud, sing it proud. Dance in your underwear with the shades pulled down. Three little birds - Bob Marley "Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right. Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!" Rise up this mornin', Smiled with the risin' sun, Three little birds Pitch by my doorstep Singin' sweet songs Of melodies pure and true, Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:") Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!" Rise up this mornin', Smiled with the risin' sun, Three little birds Pitch by my doorstep Singin' sweet songs Of melodies pure and true, Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:" Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh! Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!" Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry! "'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry! Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."

Is/was Captain Sensible popular in Britain?! How very surreal and upbeat. Yeah, he was a founder member of the Punk band The Damned. Here's his bio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Sensible I loved that song from South Pacific and he did a lovely job with it. You're right, Brad, it is upbeat and never fails to bring a smile to my face. http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~culttv/happytalk.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQwu8enr6Ec I have to admit I never heard of Captain Sensible and never got into punk, so I didn't think I'd like this but it was great! I'm thinking we need a thread devoted to happy talk and laughter. What do you think, Marnie? You seem to find most of the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Br...] Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yeeeeah, cool song.... Brad, you have a nice, smiley face! I love it when I can put names and faces together. Thanks Marnie! I have only my parents to thank for my looks though. Didn't do a thing myself to get 'em (except exercising keeps 'em up I reckon). It's what's inside that counts most anyways. I'll probably change my avatar with different pics as I go through this tapering process. I find when I look back at myself in my avatar on this forum it motivates me even more to do the right thing. Fergie has nothing on you though. Miss Glamorous, indeed. lol You are a laugh riot, and you have inspired me to try and figure out how to photoshop. You gots skillz.... I don't know if I'll have much time, but I'll make some juvenile attempts at least. Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
