Speaking as a musician, that song is hard to reverse engineer. But I intuitively know what it's trying to say.

Oh I should have known. I've always been a fan of Joe Cracker.

I saw him somewheres around that time and he still roamed around the stage but to the delight of the audience he always made it back to the mic stand at just the right moment, bringing on cheers. Perhaps during filmed performances he paid more attention to standing on the X so to speak for production purposes.

A little saddened to hear that Jerry Springer died. His show as one of the trashiest pieces of garbage I've ever seen, and a little too much even for my tastes... but it is a unique part of Americana.
I'm pretty sure the show was mostly fake, but it can be amusing in small doses.

The way I see it, I get plenty of Bible, and Bible discussion, in real life. I come to CF for something different, particularly, for exposure to perspectives and points of view I might otherwise not encounter.

Thanks. 
I had several weeks where it was just one thing too many, to manage that on top of everything else...

Road work season is underway.
I'm so glad I have a GPS.. because I'm horrible with directions... and yeah it's not fun driving somewhere realizing the crucial road you need to take is blocked off.

I was very offended when my husband first bought me a GPS ("Are you suggesting I can't read maps?"), but now I wouldn't be without it. It is much easier than having to pull over and puzzle over the map!
What's on my mind is trying not to let anxiety get the better of me, at how much more work I have to do, than time in which to do it.

I hate allergies. Not sure what's triggering it.
"Sneeze"
I hope you enjoyed my impression of a sneeze. It's like your actually right there being sneezed at.

Guzoontite. (My German spelling's a little rusty.)
I heard this hip hop love song. The entire lyrics consisted of 12 words, and 8 of them were "baby". It got me wondering why "baby" is a romantic term of endearment. A little creepy, isn't it? I thought of the old song "Baby, It's Cold Outside", and wondered how long this has been going on. A little research says that the first known occurrence is in a 1694 novel, according to the OED. This strangeness also occurs in many other languages.
But I wonder who was the first person to do it? There had to be a first person. I picture a guy saying "I love you , baby." The gal gets all insulted - "What did you just call me?!" He's like "A baby. You know, a newborn, an infant. You know, those brand new humans who are really, really stupid 'cause they don't know anything about anything, and even though they're healthy they can't even stand on their own two feet much less walk, and they can't do anything so they just lie there and drool on themselves and regurgitate their food and poop in their pants. Yeah, that's what I called you."

Maybe it's because children are often considered adorable, cute, lovable, etc? It's not something I've ever particularly liked, either.

Well, women are more neotenous on average compared to men. I believe a lot of what we view as masculine and feminine is parental/childlike dynamics. Men using baby and other infantilized terms as romantic terms of endearment makes sense. Sometimes women use it on men.. but I don't think it has the same psychological underpinnings for the most part.
The flipside... we hear about 'manbabies' but not 'womanbabies' for a reason too.
