True Confessions - Darrell - 01-01-2011 09:42 PM
I once spent a week learning to play this on guitar.
This effort was inspired by watching the Once More With Feeling episode four times in a row.
As we speak I am listening to the soundtrack again. Whatever is wrong with me is no small thing.

Green Eyes, Red Hair, Long legs
She's got the devil inside her
She’s a cup of tea, she’s a Jaegerbomb
She’s an angel, she’s an Amazon
She’s a poem, she’s an alphabet
She’s a violin with a bayonet
What ever it is I hope you don't get over anytime soon!

I bought that CD for my wife for Christmas. She was thrilled.
One of these days I'm going to go see them live. One of these days.

I have spent alot of time learning various guitar licks from songs. All that to discover I have no talent at ALL

When you mentioned "she's a Jaegerbomb", my mind went here.
For Christmas, I asked for, and got, a lot of the kind of music I enjoyed as a teenager and early twenty-something - before I dropped it all for classical and sacred at BJU. Carly Simon, Al Stewart, Carole King... been feasting on my favorites, and not feeling one whit guilty about it.

I don't have much music stuff to confess.
Someone gave me a Ron Hamilton CD and I hated it so much I left in the church lobby with a "Free to a good home" sign taped on it. Haven't seen it since.
I'm part of a 120+ person choir anyway that sings some intensely hard stuff, so that horrible sappy music never appealed to me anyway.

I did four years of chamber and symphonic choir at my Fundy U and loved every minute of it. I'm not lightweight when it comes to enjoying classical music. But if you look at my playlists you'll find Mendelssohn's Elijah right next to the Barenaked Ladies and ABBA sharing the same space with George Gershwin.
I don't foolishly claim to like all music (nobody does) but a constant diet of nothing but art music would leave me just as short-sighted as a constant diet of whatever the music industry is promoting at the moment.
[I have no idea where this rant came from and it really has nothing to do with what Lizzy posted. It's just what I happened to be thinking at this second]

My confession... one time someone at my IFB church gave me a gospel tract that looked like one of those dollar bills. He wanted me to give it out to someone. I didn't. As soon as I got home, I put it through the paper shredder.
I am sorry, but I don't like the idea if giving out something that looks like money when it's really not. It doesn't seem very honest. Plus, if I left it laying around and someone who really needed money were to pick it up, what do you think their reaction would be upon noticing it's fake? IMHO, if someone is going to hand out gospel tracts, they shouldn't be disguised as money.

When I was about 10, I played a hymn on my piano when no one else was home, just to see what it sounded like. (In our church, instrumental sacred music was a sin.) I felt both guilty and elated for a long time.
We used to have juniper trees surrounding our church yard. As kids, we loved picking the berries and throwing them at each other. But we had a deacon who was a real kill-joy. Like, you were afraid to smile in his presence. Sometimes we thought he'd hide and watch, just so he could scold us for being bad. We all got in trouble for throwing the juniper berries one sunday (and climbing the tree, and running in the church yard, and...). So when he wasn't looking, some of us threw a bunch at his car. He never noticed but it made us feel better.
One time, we had an entire Bible study on how it was wrong to wear cross jewelry. The next Sunday, I wore a cross necklace my mom gave me, just to spite people. (This was during our "coming out of Fundyland" year, so we were enjoying a lot of freedom....just not publically).

I... I .... I rescue tracts fundie tracts from public places. It's true...
There will be people at the judgment who will point at me and say, "He's the one! He's the one who stole my opportunity to read the Romans Road again and pray the prayer at the end and really, really, sincerely mean it!"
What say ye? Guilty? or Not Guilty? of the blood of some unknown soul who might have picked up the tract and read it.
