So What's on your iPod?
Ya know, an interesting phenomenon of digital music is that suddenly all the stupid songs you remember from your youth, the one hit wonders that caused you to bust out your best cabbage patch or running man, the embarrassing saccharine-sweet weep fests from AM radio that you are ashamed to admit you love, the totally random tracks from artists that you would never in a million years believe that you would like, the Vanilla Ice, have now all found new life on your iPod. MP3s and the iPod have basically put a VH1 special in your pocket. It's a K-Tell revolution.
But it's also a bit like going public with a fetish. Some of those songs you may not want people to know about. Sure I'm proud to have Radiohead and U2 and and Public Enemy and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on my iPod, but should I admit to the Pablo Cruise? Or Right Said Fred? Or the theme song from National Lampoon's Vacation?
What the hell. If I can talk about my masturbatory habits publicly, I can talk about my download of Autograph's opus, "Turn Up The Radio."

Masturbatory habits? I have to start paying more attention from now on!

"Holiday Road" rules! Since you confessed, here's mine:
Rhinestone Cowboy
One Tin Soldier
Seasons In The Sun
The music from the old Disneyland attraction America Sings.
Gotta love the internet!

If only I HAD an iPod... Alas. I do, however, have an iBook and iTunes, and recent downloads include "Rock of Ages" and "Foolin'" by Def Leppard, "Separate Ways" by Journey, and the theme to "The Never-Ending Story" by ex-Kajagoogoo moppet, Limahl.
ROCK ON!

Bless me, Jimbo, for I have sinned...
"I'm Too Sexy" - Right Said Fred
"Mickey" - Toni Basil (I think)
"It's Raining Men" - Geri Halliwell (mea culpa! mea maxima culpa!)
"The Chicken Dance (Techno Remix)" - Techno Duck
"I Think I Love You" - David freakin' Cassidy, god help me
And, of course, Britney Spears singing "I Love Rock and Roll." I am so going to hell.

Ouch! There is nothing wrong with Autograph's "Turn Up The Radio"!
I'm a total sucker for Flock of Seagulls "I Ran (So Far Away)".

You Billy Joel loving freak.
Although it did remind me of Mr. Big from Sex and the City. When he gets dumped by his model girlfriend, he's in the car talking with Carrie, listening to "New York State of Mind".
We should all have our very own, token yuppie friend.
