John Denver had one of the sweetest voices I've ever heard. I miss him.

Book: The Man With the $100,000 Breasts

Reason: Just to let Tanya and Danielle know that there is a man walking around with better implants then they have.


Film: The Decalogue

Reason: Not only 10 hours of mesmerizing viewing, but the hours and hours of discussion it would inspire would be interesting also.

music: Sawyer Brown, Nickel Creek, and Alan Jackson

I'm actually not sure which book I'd bring.

But I'd only need one. That's because I read very quickly and don't retain a damned thing. When I'm finished, I can start it over again and not have a clue that I'd already read it.

YaY other Denverheads here :) That man has sung to my soul for more years than I usually admit lol. Thank goodness we still have the music. Truthfully I think that would be the hardest part for me if I ever were to go in that stupid BB house. Not sure I could take 3 months (and if I go I WOULD be there 3 months hehe) without his music to calm me down.

One of the greatest love songs ever IMO is Annie's song...

You fill up my senses
like a night in the forest
like the mountains in Springtime
like a walk in the rain
like a storm in the desert
like a sleepy, blue ocean
you fill up my senses
come fill me again

Come let me love you
let me give my life to you
let me drown in your laughter
let me die in your arms

Cut to FOTH ;)

I respectfully submit a request here. I've never liked John Denver. If, by some really truly bizarre coinky dink I ended up in the BB house and another HG brought in a John Denver CD and played it often (even as often as once every two days), I'd probably run screaming for the panic button.

I'm here to fess up that I love John Denver's music, too. Always have.

Remind me to bring a JDenver CD if by some bizarre coinky dink I end up being a BB Houseguest with Costacat. hehe

Hey Costacat I got a question for ya. Have you ever heard any JD stuff beyond his "hits." A friend of mine would always tease me about my JD addiction, so one night I put on a CD and played some of what I think are his better songs. Well my friend was blown away by For You and had NO clue it was John Denver. He then listened to the rest of the CD amazed and a new fan was born :)

I have this theory (I come with a LOT of theories if you all haven't noticed hehehe) that most folks who don't like JD have never heard any music but his 70's hits.

Music:
1) Billy Joel's first album "Piano Man". (I just love "Traveling Prayer")
2) The soundtrack to "O Brother Where Art Thou"

Dang dang dang... Memo to self: do not give others ideas as to how to get rid of me.

LOL Hillbilly and babyruth!

Hey Lurknomore! I got an answer for ya. Yuppers, I have. And noppers, didn't make no difference. Granted, he is an awesome songwriter. I'll give him credit for that. It's his voice. Drives me up and down a wall. Similar to Melanie Griffith's voice. And Roddy's.

Moedog

Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:44 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Hubby can't stand Melanie Griffith's voice, either. If I want to watch a movie she's in, he heads out to play his guitar. Fran Drescher always irritated me (The Nanny). <cringe>

Pink Floyd would definitely head the list of must-haves if music was allowed in the BB house.

The book I'd bring in...."Who moved my Cheese?"....Amy would be my friend forever!

Never thought I'd like anything Roddy liked, but he likes my favorite author, James Michener, so I would bring one of his "e-pocks" (as Roddy pronounced it last night), probably Hawaii.

Hillbilly...I remember watching Sawyer Brown win Star Search, the same year Sam Harris won. Loved both Sawyer and Sam!

...got to be one of the best country bands ever, Surini...you need to hear Nickel Creek...they's country...but not the 'beer drinking' country most think of...got a real unique sound...

Hillbilly: I'm picturing washboards & 'musical' jugs here ... am I close?
NO, I'm talking about any body parts!!!!

Hillbilly

Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:12 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
...nope..not even close...more like a new country sound...see if you can find their song "When You Come Back Down"...their very harmonized...

Surini

Draheid you are funny

Hillbilly, I agree about Sawyer Brown and will have to look for Nickel Creek, thanks!

Book: Hell's Angels by Hunter Thompson

To pick just one book would be soooo difficult.

First I'd have to decide if i wanted to reread a favorite such as

Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Ran
Time Enough for Love, Robert Heinlein (or MIAHM?)
The Magician Series, Raymond Feist
A Twain Collection,
LOTR,
A Georgette Heyer omnibus,
Jane Austen,
or maybe....
The complete Nero Wolfe series, Rex Stout...



I'd lay these out, blindly pick one... then keep trying new books against it to see if I want to risk a new title instead of an old familiar one.

I'd bring the game Password

and a CD collection including Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, George Winston piano solos, the Stones, Springsteen, the Indigo Girls, and...um.....guess I should stop now..

Kminfinity, I think you illustrated the point very well that it would be so difficult to choose just one book. So many from which to pick!

THANKS to all who posted to this thread! I've added to my reading list based on your recommendations.

*rotflmao* Thanks for the Monty Python soundbite, MOEDOG! That was great! I headed to bed just before you put that out last night. How funny to find it today!

BEAGLE & MOEDOG: Yeah, I'm gonna pick up the Harry Potter books one of these days. I was just waiting for the furor to die down so I could actually FIND them on the bookshelves! *grin*

DJGIRL: Heck, I HAD to start getting rid of my books.. there were WAY TOO MANY and even though I kept only the most significant ones, I still had 37 boxes of books to move across the country! I go to the library now. Read 'em and return 'em. What REALLY ticks me off is when I DO end up buying a book at $7.00 a pop,(after having read the synopsis first) and find out after I get home and start reading that I had ALREADY read that book! *lol* Oh well...

I'm thinking maybe the Wizard of Oz.

I can't get the chant out of my head:

"Lyings and Tyrants and Bares. Oh, my!"

You're welcome, Jake! Great clip, heehee. Enjoy the HP series... it's a fun diversion. My grandson is 4 so I look forward to sharing them with him in the years to come.

I just can't seem to get rid of a book once I buy it. I collect 1st editions so I have to buy the PB as a reading copy along with the hardcover. My hubby knows what my answer will be when he asks, "What do you want for your birthday (or Christmas)". Another bookshelf! I have a cousin who's a carpenter so he builds them all the way to the ceiling for me with shelves spaced perfectly for the different book sizes. One of these days I'll have to answer my husband, "A bigger house".

Another couple of choices to take into the BB house would be Sacagawea (great saga about the Lewis/Clark expedition), and Colleen McCullough's 4 book series on ancient Rome.
