One of our local radio stations here in Minnesota (92.5 KQRS) is a great classic rock radio station. One of their features is called MyTunes wherein listeners can submit their request list (up to 8 songs) to the station. Kristie and I both created them and sent them along some time ago. Naturally they get alot of such requests so it's likely many of them don't get played. That's not to say that the lists aren't good. Actually, many different lists feature the same songs.
Who knows how long til they get around to ours. In the meantime, here's Kristie's list.
I have to say though, there are a ton of things I love about her (obviously). But, one of the greatest things about her is without question her sense of humor. She cracks me up all the time (even when my intention is to be mad at her). Anyway, I say this because one of the songs on the playlist has an amusing story behind it.
Listen to the John Cougar Mellencamp track: "I need a lover". The song is, I dunno, around 5 minutes long or whatever but the weird thing about it is that the singing doesn't start until well into the song.
What's more, when you listen to the intro, there are a number of points in it where you'd normally expect the lyrics to start up but they don't. So the song comes on the radio and Kristie is standing up and sort of pretending she's like lip synching the song but naturally the lyrics didn't start. This of course happens a couple of times when you think the lyrics are going to start. Each time she gets more and more frustrated.
And then, when the lyrics finally do start in, it's sort of in a weird spot. Anyways....it was totally one of those "you had to be there to see it" kind of moments. But, we had a good laugh anyway.
Enjoy!
Kristie's MyTunes Playlist:
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Lynrd Skynrd - Simple Man
Ram Jam - Black Betty
Billy Joel - Sometimes a Fantasy
Tom Petty - American Girl

Rolling Stones - Shattered
John Cougar Mellencamp - I need a lover

Cute story, sounds like you make a great couple!
Good songs, too!
Thanks. Yeah, I think we do. We have 12 years to prove it I suppose. What's better, if we wanted to be hip and cool and adopt one of those Hollywood conjoined sort of names (i.e., Benifer, Brangelina, etc.) we've got it made in the shade (or so she says).
I guess you just call us Christie. LOL
And yeah, she does have good musical taste.
