I remember when Big Love first came out and on david letterman or one of those shows they spent the longest time trying to figure out which of the women was producing those moans.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.John Stuart Mill
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
Was listening to some radio station that I don't usually listen to and they played "Nights In White Satin" by Moody Blues.
*phew* Forgot how sexy that song was.......and I'm adding it to the list.
Great call Infelice! I forgot about the Moody Blues....They've got alot of good stuff.

I'm not too familiar with much of what the Moody Blues did, Brin - NIWS is about the only one I know off-hand, and it sure does hit the spot, so to speak
Lady In Red, Chris de Burgh (?) has also been brought to my attention just recently and I feel it is also "List Worthy" A great song for starters
"Hellfire! Everybody in this whole business, you and everyone keep accusing me of being some sort of closet expert. I tell you, I don't know one damn thing about this unless someone explains it to me. I'm not your bloody Berek."
