Song on Repeat - December 26th, 2016

Tonight's song I've been listening to over and over is "I'm Not the Man" by Ben Folds. I am basically trying to find every live version I can on youtube. I have been obsessed with this song since the album came out. It gives me a lump in my throat when I listen to it sometimes. In February, I'll be seeing Ben live with a local orchestra. I have no clue if he'll play this one but I might go a bit crazy if he does.

A lovely live version is behind the spoiler tag.

In high school, I liked the song "Brick" by Ben Folds Five.  But I never really listened to Ben Folds much until around maybe 2010 or so. Since then, I've been kind of obsessed. I listen to him almost every single day. I'm not sure if that's healthy or not...ha! He just has so many great songs. The one I posted above is from his most recent album. I've only seen him perform live once in 2012. We're finally seeing him again next year and I am so freaking excited about it. As dumb and cliche and it sounds....his music has really helped me get through tough times. This won't be the last Ben song I post here.

Interesting. I'm pro-choice but I've still hit up "Brick" sometimes- I've made a lot of decisions that ideally I'd go a different way but realistically...

Today's endless repeat is OMD- History of Modern Part I. It feels very 2016.

I don't identify as pro-life or pro-choice really. But abortion depresses me so much. So Brick kind of makes me sad now that I know what it's about (in high school, I had no clue.)

I am not familiar with that song so I'll have to check it out.

      Possibly Tori and Bobby Smith but could still be a coincidence.

      I would have a hard time counting it since Kade’s real name is Robert.

      Are there any others?

      I think the Whites are awful in many ways, but I'm kinda hoping that their objection was that the Bowers are a bunch of Insurrectionists who want to overthrow the government.

      Like Pelaiah, my dad was career military, and he sure as hell would have objected to me marrying into someone whose into treason.

      I'm going to be total BEC right now and point out that this is what Haley apparently wore out to dinner at a  Texas Roadhouse  a night or two ago. I don't know about y'all but I always wear a floor length satin gown to eat ribs at my local mid-market chain steakhouse.

      Plus Curtis is a nutty conspiracy theorist and has been for many years. Long before trump, Curtis was espousing his bullshit. Jan 6 was just his holiday.

      Yep. Fundies have all kinds of nonsensical disputes and pre-marriage questionnaires about “theological differences” and “scripture”, so the parents may very well have objected the marriage due to some random difference in religious doctrine with the other family.
