do some songs remind you of O&M somehow?

Oops, that's not good. Just visualize Ozy and Millie singing and playing air guitar to "Smells Like Teen Spirit." That will help.

It always seemed to me the Ozy would be more of a Pearl Jam fan for some reason. Either that or Alice in Chains. AIC was about my favorite band from the grunge era. Man, do I miss all that great music. Now, all we have left of grunge is replays in the radio, bands trying to sound like grunge and exploiting its sound in sheer commercialism (Creed, Nickelback), and leftovers trying to start again (Audioslave's alright, but hardly as good as Soundgarden. Tomahawk just sucks; I've never heard an experiment go more wrong. I saw them open for Tool back in 2002 and I swear my ears almost bled). We did have a small revival with the 'The' bands (The White Stripes, The Vines, The Hives, The Strokes), but that fell short of it's promise. I like the White Stripes. The Vines are good, but too Nirvana/Beatles-ish. They need their own sound. The Hives were poised to be the saviors of rock...for about 3 weeks, then the vanished into oblivion. The Strokes never sent me. I was ultra-psyched back when they relesed the new Nirvana song ("You Know You're Right"), but then we were once again left with the bleak emptiness that "that was it; no more." I was about 6 when grunge was in full swing, but now I miss it so much. I need the new Dream Theater CD. Not grunge, but still awesome music if you like early Metallica, Iron Maiden, or Rush. I hope Jerry Cantrell does another CD and this time every song doesn't sound exactly alike. Good stuff, very grunge, but too repetitive of what he did in AIC. I appriciated the grunge sound, but he needs to do something else to make the songs stand out. Well, enough of my off-topic lament of music. Sorry, but you bring up music and I'll rant on forever. Please go back to what you were talking about earlier.

Ok, sorry to make 2 posts in a row, but I'm gonna try to get this thread remotely on-topic, as I found another song. Dream Theater, "As I Am," off Train of Thought. I just got the CD today (finally) and it is AWESOME. Don't Tell me what's in Tell me how to write Dont tell me how to win This fight Isnt your life It isnt your right To take the only thing thats Mine Proven over time Its over your head Dont try to read between the Lines Are clearly defined Never lose sight of Something you believe in Takin in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window Im on the outside Living like the underdog Ive been trying to justify you In the end I will just defy you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I wont change to fit your man, Take me as I am As I am Still Running uphill Swimming against the current I wish I werent so F***ed Feels like Im stuck Lost in a sea of mediocrity Slow down, Youre thinking too much Where is your soul? You cannot touch The way I Play Or tell me what to say Youre in the way Of all that I believe in Takin in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window Im on the outside Living like the underdog Ive been wasting my breath on you Open minds will descend upon you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I wont change to fit your plan, take me as I am

There was that song... I can't really remember what it was like or called but it reminded me heaps of Millie's personality.

Yeah, Millie is silly for evil's sake. Weird Al is silly for silly's sake.

Found another song: "Lean On Me" from Club Nouveau. Sometimes in our lives we all have pain We all have sorrow But if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long 'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on Please swallow your pride If I have things you need to borrow For no one can fill those of your needs That you don't let show Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long 'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on If there is a load you have to bear That you can't carry I'm right up the road I'll share your load If you just call me So just call on me brother, when you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'd understand We all need somebody to lean on Lean on me when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long Till I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on Lean on me...

That was one the end of that Simpson episode with that blue haired kid doing acting and stuff and those Hollywood people got bankrupted by the whole of Springfield.

"Urban Spaceman" suits Llewellyn to a "T", in my opinion "I'm the Urban Spaceman babe, but Here comes the twist... I don't exist!"

Oh, and "House at Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins for Timulty.... God, I love that kid. He's adorable!
