(NOTE: Read the post below this one first)
So I wrote that bit below about list-making in a notebook in my room last night and then copied it onto the internet a few minutes ago only to log onto the Facebook network and see the my sister Maureen’s status to say: “random survey: please nominate your song choices for "songs not to be played at a wedding"... just curious what you can come up with... i'm pretty disappointed by the lists i'm finding online but i KNOW there are some terrible songs out there :)” Although I question her use of the smiley face thing (both in this case and always) and I’m assuming by “terrible” she means “terribly inappropriate for the occasion,” not just bad songs, I like the idea and it lends itself perfectly to my list-making fascination. Here’s what I came up with:
BOB DYLAN: Positively 4th Street, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, It Ain’t Me Babe, Like A Rolling Stone, Idiot Wind, or anything off of his Christmas album or Self Portrait.
NEIL YOUNG: F##kin’ Up
OUTKAST: Roses
PEARL JAM: Jeremy
ROLLING STONES: Satisfaction, Can’t Always Get What You Want
U2: With or Without You, Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, One
Anything by Biggie Smalls, Eminem, Lil’ Wayne, Elliott Smith, and especially the Wu-Tang Clan

"... or anything off of his Christmas album."
I don't know, that very well might make the reception funnier than Conor's toast. Ok, maybe not quite that funny, but darn close. "Oh leettle town of Beeethlehem..."
I like the use of :) Sometimes they evoke just the right emotion. You know, like if I want to say "Hey Stephen. This list is dumb. :)" Then you know I'm kidding. Though of course you'd know that anyway because this list is awesome.
I can assure you that none of these songs will be played on the dance floor.
Happy Birthday Stephen! :) !
We miss you. Good thing Maureen is getting married so you can come for a visit. I'm sorry you won't be in Portland for your birthday and will miss mom's 60th Birthday. We're thinking good thoughts from Ashland!
