Okay, I've been living in rural areas for about two and a half years now, so I'm becoming more familiar than I ever thought possible with country music. Like most music, some is good, some is bad, and then there's the occasional one that drives me up the freakin' wall. This concerns one of them. The song is I'm Just a Girl, sung by Deanna Carter, and written (I think) by Carter and Billy Mann. I'm not sure who did the lyrics and who did the tune, but it makes my blood boil every time I hear it. Here are the lyrics: I've traveled 'round the world in airplanes and in cars I've tried exotic foods and smoked some fine cigars I'm just a girl, an American girl I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl I'm a Chevy girl I've strolled down Paris streets, been lost in London fog But all I really need are the fields of Arkansas I'm just a girl, an American girl I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl I need an old Corvette with the top down And a backseat for my friends I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive Gimme a Coke-a-cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade I need freedom to be all around the world I'm a Southern girl I want an old porch swing under Montana skies To hold a working man, looking good in his old Levi's I'm just a girl, an American girl I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl I need an old Corvette with the top down And a backseat for my friends I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive Gimme a Coke-a-cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade I need freedom to be all around the world I'm daddy's girl I've traveled 'round this world and I'm ready to go home Can you believe this? This idiot, this self-proclaimed "Chevy Girl" thinks she can find a Corvette with a backseat!! I don't know why this bugs the living shit out of me, but it does. Morons! Imbeciles!! Grr...Snort!!! Ahem. Okay; I feel better now...

Yeah, "not engaging" is a good way to put it. Okay; maybe I should try another one. I've met too many people whose taste I respect that like Kottke to just give up, though maybe I should...

The games have to be good...here they're being shown on ESPN Classic, between Muhammed Ali fights and thirty year old basketball games.

I was going to throw in my two cents worth on the controversy, but after seeing Bright Moments' signature, I can't remember what it was...

The only Leo Kottke I've ever picked up was Greenhouse, and after trying it in my teens, twenties, thirties and forties, I've decided there's just no connection for me. I couldn't understand what the buzz was about; just sounded lame to me. Was this LP an abberation, or am I just not cut out to enjoy Kottke?

Jeez...I hope my ankles don't break!

Presentation ceremonies will be held Wednesday...

I've got a bike You can ride it if you like It's got a basket A bell that rings And things to make it look good I'd give it to you if I could But I borrowed it You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things I've got a cloak It's a bit of a joke There's a tear up the front It's red and black I've had it for months If you think it could look good Then I guess it should You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things I know a mouse And he hasn't got a house I don't know why I call him Gerald He's getting rather old But he's a good mouse You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things I've got a clan of gingerbread men Here a man There a man Lots of gingerbread men Take a couple if you wish They're on the dish You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things I know a room full of musical tunes Some rhyme Some ching Most of them are clockwork Let's go into the other room and make them work

When I look up to the skies I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow I rush home to bed I soak my head I see your face underneath my pillow I wake next morning, tired, still yawning See your face come peeping through my window Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you Windows echo your reflection When I look in their direction now When will this haunting stop? Your face it just wont leave me alone Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you Youre in the sky and with the sky You make men cry, you lie Youre in the sky and with the sky You make men cry, you lie Pictures of matchstick men and Pictures of matchstick men and you Pictures of matchstick men ....
