"Lost without your Love" includes the line, "Oh, darling, can't you see?," which arguably inspired "Oh, can't you see you belong to me?" "Every Breath You Take" is the stalkeriest of stalkery songs. More stalk than celery!

yeah, i recall looking up the lyrics to "How Much I Feel" prompted by a discussion here -- CREEPY is RIGHT!!! (weird, the song was a hit when i was . . . in 1st year of college? but was not really into it, guess that is why i did not really notice the lyrics)

my one and only high school boyfriend -- who was kinda knows as the tough-guy "school hood" -- LOVED Bread, when we would be on the phone he would sometimes play the records and sing along with them to me . . . !

I have a CD of Zehava Ben doing the best covers of Inta Omri I've ever heard. That's such a tough "song" to cover, and she nails it

Bernadette was the little girl in the Castro convertible commercial who shows everyone that it's so easy to pull a bed out of your couch, a little child can do it. Never knew she had a singing career.

Reminded of Chrissie Hynde saying she met some racist 'tough' guy or such who was all soppy over the song 'The Great Pretender' - by of course African-Americans. She said - 'yeah - I'll have some of that' - hence, The Pretenders.

A small favor to ask, Sheila: It'd be great if the archive can get posted before the tape-delayed Olympics opening ceremony begins. I plan to have the TV sound off and this show would be a good soundtrack.

NO. Math is important. And good math is artful. Both the math and musical parts of the brain feed into each other.

The writer CP Snow felt like art and science couldn't exist successfully without each other.
  5:44pm
Dean:

Amen. As a buddy of mine with a mind for science recently put it, "STEM isn't that hard." We don't need to immerse kids in STEM at the expense of Humanities.

Math, @Cecile, is precisely where one of my heroes, Leon Battista Alberti, finds the bridge between the sciences and the arts. He's right. Just look at his work.

Alas, Snow was prescient, at least from the time of "Two Cultures" to the present.

@Sheila: If they think they can get rid of arts and keep logic and math alive, they're wrong

Certainly applied logic, @fred. But there's also a design aspect to it, an aim for a kind of elegance, albeit according to very peculiar criteria.

I'll just leave this here, @fred: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/12/24/utopian-for-beginners It's about a friend of mine from elementary school. You'll see the connection to language and software. He constructed a language (to be spoken, not for programming) designed to be optimally efficient. He's now creating progressive rock songs for the language, I kid you not. His singer is David Peterson, mentioned in the article.
