Monday of Hearts-Rabbit Leopold

Happy Monday.  I have a case of Full Moon Fever! The Four Classic Rock Songs I Heard today were
Where the Streets Have No Name by U2, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, Back on the Chain Gang
by the Pretenders and Runnin' with the Devil by Van Halen.  I've heard MDNA's second single
Girl Gone Wild and it's another brilliant and wonderful Madonna tune.  Great job, Madge! Expect this one to go straight to the top!

Madonna Song of the Day-Rain from Erotica-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"I Feel It/It's Coming!/Rain/Feel it on my finger tips/Hear in on the window pane/Your love is coming down like the Rain/Wash away my Sorrow/Take away my pain/Your love is coming down like the Rain..."-One of Madonna's most beautiful love songs, this wonderful and touching Rock ballad makes me smile through the sadness.  Extremely moving and heartfelt, Lady Evita Wallis Ciccone!

Madonna Song of the Day-Live to Tell from The Immaculate Collection-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"I have a tale to tell!/Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well/I was not ready for the fall/Too blind to see the writing on the wall!...I know where beauty lives!/I've seen it once/I know the warmth she gives/The light that you could never see!/It shines inside/You can't take that from me!...If I ran away/I'd never have the strength to go very far/And how would they hear the beating of my heart?/Will it grow cold?/The secret that I hide?/How could they hear?/When will they learn?/And how would they know?/A man can tell a thousand lies!/I've learned my lesson well/Hope I live to tell/The secret I have learned/Till then, it will burn inside of me!/The truth is never far behind!/You kept it hidden well!/If I live to tell/The secret I knew then/Will I ever have the chance again?"-Lady Madonna, don't be afraid! With any luck, you will have your chance! I Love You!

Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"You put me Back in Business and I'm Here to Stay!"-There's been no truer explanation of Madonna's longevity and staying power in Rock! Good job, my Lady!

Wednesday of Hearts-Rabbit Leopold

Happy Middle!-Cindy, Rachel, Rosie and myself are squabbling.  I do not need or want to hear
"Conversation's Over!"-It makes me looked humbled, ashamed and embarrassed! I do not want or need to be scorned or embarrassed anymore! I can't take it anymore! I do not want to be misunderstood! I do not hop off! I hop over! We now have worked it out! The Four Classic Rock Songs I Heard were
Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders, Cherry Bomb by John Mellencamp, Urgent by Foreigner and Straight On by Heart.  Whitney  Houston 1963-2012 Another Great Pop Voice Tragically Silenced.  No One Could Save Her!

Madonna Song of the Day-Physical Attraction from You Can Dance
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Physical Attraction/Sweet Satisfaction/Physical Attraction/A Chemical Reaction!"-One of the more illicit Madonna tunes, this time with a hidden subliminal drug reference, which is kind of surprising and even shocking because Madonna is not one of the addict types.  One of those Madonna tunes I just can't get into because it's so unlike her.  Then again, none of us
-not even Madonna-are perfect!
