Are You In The Mood For Music? A Trip Down Memory Lane!
What influences you to like certain types of music?
For me, it appears to be certain decades…perhaps memories, and certain sounds of particular musicians. Certain poetic phrases or words stimulate a chord in my brain.
When I was younger, I just sang tunes without much thought, and loved to dance to rock n roll. These days, I listen and appreciate some artists more and more for the words to a song.
I grew up knowing many musicians personally, so I supported them as friends.
Boy George was not one that I liked until I met him, and when I found him intelligent, amusing, and genuinely nice, I became a huge fan. I had a crush on Eric Clapton, and he asked me for a date…its secret, I wont share.
When I lived in Italy I loved Italian ballads, in Turkey I loved the old Turkish music, so would include culture or geography in my musical taste.
For a ridiculous romance in Japan…. Maneater Daryl Oates…and I’m turning Japanese.
Daryl Hall & John Oates - Maneater
Kirsten Dunst - Turning Japanese
I would say some music like Who’s Going to Drive You Home by the Cars went around in my head forever. The KINKS with Summer Afternoon did the same.

Work Hard, Play Hard!
It’s true; people ask you what job you do to see how they are going to treat you.
What type of work do you or did you do?
Did you always enjoy your work?
Was your work boring, interesting, exciting, dangerous, difficult, or satisfying?
Did you work long hours or short hours?
Were your bosses easy or difficult to work for?
The Beatles - A Hard Day’s Night
I’ve mainly worked in teaching adults, as an artist, and for charities.
I worked my way through uni in menial jobs, and teaching.
I have had toxic bosses, the best and kindest bosses, good conditions and bad working conditions, also some very difficult colleagues, and people to deal with.
I chose work that I would enjoy, as I never wanted to be bored spending the majority of my life working. Always needed people skills and chose to work hard.
The biggest reward was creating a good atmosphere and achieving success.
An artists work…not as easy as it sounds!
Don McLean - Starry, Starry Night
Do you have any anecdotes of your work, that are interesting or amusing?
Have you ever had any accidents when working?
Alan Jackson lived his songs about work, as did many performing songwriters or singers.
Alan Jackson - Hard Hat And A Hammer
Merle Haggard - Workin’ Man Blues
Bruce Springsteen - Working On The Highway
Were you rewarded well for your work?
And what skills did you need or have to work at?
So the discussion and music, memes, gifs, videos, and gifs are on a work theme.
Respect all commenters, and most of all, enjoy and chat with friends.

Watch Elon Musk’s neuralink monkey play video games with his brain.
We were born to be free, to enjoy our lives, be at one with nature, and also to enjoy freedoms.
Animals and people were not born to be subordinate to the whim for power or control. Life is becoming more challenging and complex with certain technologies.
