Show us something you've had for a really long time.

This has been with me forever. He has been with me longer than my partner of so many years. He was there for the bad times. Gulliver is the only living thing in my life that has seen me drunk in the last 25 years. He has been the most beautiful thing in my life from the moment we laid eyes on each other. They found him tied to a guard rail on the side of the freeway in LA. That was almost 18 years ago and when I found him he only had 5 minutes before they were going to put him to sleep. Without him life would have been pretty empty and lonely. He won't be here much longer. Every day is a little tougher, each step a little wobblier. But dangle a peanut butter cup in front of that wet nose and watch him fly. He can still do the fifty yard dash in 9.9 seconds depending on what is at the finish line. He is deaf as a stone but crinkle a candy bar wrapper and he hears just fine. He sleeps on a fluffy bed with his chin on the window sill at the side of the bed that I sleep on. Kevin carries him up at night and I carry him down in the morning. He is a good boy. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever encountered in my life.
So take a listen and look into that beautiful eye. You may just catch a glimpse of all he has been through with me. The good and the bad, the happy and the sad. But whatever it was he was always the same and never gave up on me.

| Keith Richards wrote most of this. |
| Merry Clayton is the female vocalist. She was a Gospel singer who did backup vocals for various artists, including Ray Charles. She had a regular role on the '80s TV show Cagney and Lacey, and played a maid in the movie Maid To Order. She released her own version of this song. |
| At about the 3:04 mark, when Merry Clayton sings the high note on "Murder," you can hear Mick Jagger in the background saying "Whoo!" (thanks, Ben - Hilton, NY) |
| Jagger: "That song was written during the Vietnam War and so it's very much about the awareness that war is always present; it was very present in life at that point. Mary Clayton who did the backing vocals, was a background singer who was known to one of the producers. Suddenly, we wanted someone to sing in the middle of the night. And she was around. She came with her curlers in, straight from bed, and had to sing this really odd lyric. For her it was a little odd - for anyone, in the middle of the night, to sing this one verse I would have been odd. She was great." (thanks, bertrand - Paris, France) |
This girl can sing. Cagney and Lacey? That's alright, she sings something that produces a feeling inside that nothing else does. Cabin Fever has set in. Cold, closed in. Confined. Forget about the shelter, give me a blue sky and a hot dry day. A glass of sweet tea and a garden hose. I crave the heat. I need sun.

I played this song at my mom's funeral. Her name was Mary Carole. There were five very large and beautiful flower arrangements from five internet friends from a group I spent much time with. It was a Latvian Reality Show chat room.
We all actally tried to learn Latvian so we could understand the show but were content watching and posting along with a foreign language Big Brother Show called Fabrika. Best Show ever! Best net gang in the world. It was like Most eExtreme Elimination Challenge. We did the play by play ourselves along with whatever was going on in Fabrika. They were completely uncensored and much wierd/funny stuff went on.

Oh yes he has!!!!! I know, not an image. I'll do that too. Please look at Island Girl's. Oh, and this is the 7th thing that comes up but worth the scroll.

I like Cake. To make. To eat. To listen to. I like the song "I will survive" because it is so unexpected. A brooding, moody band re-doing Gloria Gaynor is quite unusual and perhaps that is why I like it so much.
One of my other favorite songs is called "Love you madly". I also love "Long Line of Cars", "Commissioning a Symphony", "Daria" and many others.
Here it is. "I Will Survive", by CAKE.
Quite a tasty tune, don't you think?
