Lee, may I point you to a web comic called "Questionable Content?" Start at the beginning, and read the T shirts!

Questionable Content

I bought a book bag off there for my librarian sister that was printed with, "She blinded me with library science!" And that's one of the oldest references on there.

Their latest album is called the suburbs. I like it far better than funeral. it won a grammy for best album of the year. this album is marked SHARE on my computer so I assume I can send it to you.

she blinded me with science is 1 of the songs in rock of ages,:the current broadway play which is all music from the eighty's. thanks for the comic scripts that should keep me busy for quite a while and please pardon my grammar because I'm using the phone to dictate into. we have third row tickets on my birthday. too bad my wife does not like rock and roll!

I just bought it on iTunes. Thanks for the recommendation!

And thank you for the contest; the thread itself was pretty fun to read. It's also a good reminder that getting older doesn't mean that you stop trying new things!

On YouTube you can find David Bowie singing with Arcade Fife.
