Romeo in black jeans

When I get bored with my CDs, and I frequently do, I randomly select one to play. I open the CD book they're stored in, blindly flip to a page, feel around for a disc and slide it out of the sleeve. Then, I put it in the CD player without looking and press play.

I never know what's going to come out. This is a surprise I like, well, except for the time I blindly picked Madonna circa 1981. *shudder*

One of my faves from yesterday was the Michael Penn CD that includes "No Myth." What a great one-hit wonder that was. Put it on repeat for some time.

After that, I chose again, and was shocked when I heard the next CD.

I liked Sting? If you love somebody, set them free...

Oh, yeah, I bought that during my teen years, my "they don't put out singles so I just HAVE to buy the CD" phase.

Thank me lucky stars I don't do that anymore.

Can you imagine -- a world without downloaded tunes? How did we ever survive before?
