Finally Friday

I am so glad it's Friday. I don't know if the weeks are getting longer or what, but this one has dragged big time.

I'm in a busy period at work right now. The past couple of weeks I haven't even been able to tell which end is up, let alone seek out new music or anything fun like that. Heck I haven't even listened to music at all this week, save when I was able to get in a run Monday night. During that glorious 40 minutes I ended up on my old standby of blasting I See Stars into my ears so I could run as fast as possible. I'm not a fast runner by other people's standards, but Monday was a fast run for me and I felt good afterward.

Hopefully I'll be able to dig around and find some new music this weekend. I'm sick of listening to the same old stuff. I can't deal with Hair Nation anymore. I basically just listen to NPR in my car now. My husband has taken to listening to Lithium on Sirius which is driving me crazy, but whatever. He's "reliving his high school days" he tells me. True, we didn't grow up during glam. We grew up during grunge. But still. Come on.

I leave you with this: is Dr. Pepper's Lil' Sweet supposed to be a Prince knock off or a hair metal god?

[Him]

Well, according to the man (and former American Idol competitor) himself, the character is more glam than purple. As per one of numerous write-ups about Lil's Sweet: :

"Despite what seems like a pretty obvious Prince influence, Guarini contends the character is a general glam rocker who is not based on any single figure. Deustch also denies he's based on Prince. (Nobody is confusing him for Ziggy Stardust, though … and some commenters seem to think it actually is The Purple One)."

That hasn't stopped people--myself included--from noting the similarity.

That tiger roar killed me!

The word “sweet” is the operative description here.
