This quote from a blog I found just now while I was searching for the <A HREF="http://dovemanmusic.com/" REL="nofollow">Doveman Music</A> site probably says it best:<BR/><BR/><BR/>"i wanted to slash my wrists. who knew holding out for a hero and almost paradise could be this raw, intense and depressing? i love his version of let's hear it for the boy."<BR/><BR/>— David @ <A HREF="http://artistahin.blogspot.com/2008/07/lets-hear-it-for-doveman.html" REL="nofollow">http://artistahin.blogspot.com/2008/07/lets-hear-it-for-doveman.html</A>Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315817930908086069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199093.post-72473753990270301232008-08-20T08:17:00.000-04:002008-08-20T08:17:00.000-04:00WOW.

Then again, with the exception of some of the newer stuff (and you have a different high school era than I), I would totally have these songs on my iPod (and do in many cases).<BR/><BR/>A few comments:<BR/>1 - Mrs. BA has a thing for Aretha, too.<BR/>2 - Frank will always make me think of my mother. But the Mr. Mom reference is nice, too. My friend had "220, 221, whatever it takes" rolling around in his head and it took him forever to remember that it was from that movie.<BR/>7 - Makes me think of "Guiding Light," if you watched it, you'd remember.<BR/>12 - Same story.
