Last weekend was a blast! dreamerren came up from Virginia and we went to the Adam Lambert concert together. :D I know, you're thinking-- "What?

Perhaps we're a little too loopy after the one-two punch of the series finale of Lost and the season 9 finale of American Idol where a cavalcade of contestants came back to pay tribute to Simon as if he were dying.

This week's American Idol theme is "500 Songs That Shaped Rock," which includes songs from the 1950s-1990s (I didn't catch any songs from the 21st century on the list) in all aspects of rock n' roll, from early R&B and blues, motown and doo wop, psychedelic rock and folk, disco, punk and acid rock, all the way to grunge. I've gone through the list ( Read more... )

Know what's strange? I was listening to Brooke's studio version of "Jolene" this morning, and thinking about the lyrics and I think it's less about Dolly afraid of losing her boyfriend and more about her being in love with Jolene. o-O ( Read more... )
