So last night, in my neighborhood, something occurred which was described to me as "a drive-by shooting". Some guy driving around just firing off a gun. One of my neighbors was nearby, caught a good glimpse of the car, and called the police. They have a suspect — an employee of Fenton's Ice Cream. (This is the place that got torched by a disgruntled night manager two years ago. Makes ya wonder.) Anyway, nobody got killed or hurt, but... yikes...
So on a pleasanter subject... I've been thinking about songs I've liked that I wish I could find.
- "Fly Girl", by the Boogie Boys. This would be dumb, but catchy, rap from the 80s.
- "Just Ice", by Just Ice. Ditto. I used to have it on tape.
- This song whose title and artist names I don't remember, that they used to play a lot at clubs like the Berkeley Square in the 80s. (Are you beginning to see a theme here?) Anyway, it was very blippy and electronic sounding, and the thing I mainly remember is that it had a woman's voice saying "N-N-N-No, Senor" over and over again. There were some actual lyrics too, all in Spanish.
- "Lovers In A Dangerous Time", live accoustic version, by Bruce Cockburn. KFOG plays it sometimes... it's from one of their "Live From the Archives" CDs, which are all sold out.
