Janes addiction
And I am guessing that is a jar of red hot chili peppers
 
It's only 9, Matty. Don't make shit up. The jar is jam. With pearls in it.

What the hell is Jane's Addiction in there?
 
Did you find that 90's trivia page in your latest issue of Tiger Beat magazine?

so i'm poking around youtube listening to some of the old stuff when i was in koledge.
dead kennedys, blow monkeys..then came across trashcan sinatras. didn't listen to them at the time.
cool sound, fusion of elvis costello, boy george, the smiths - but mellow.
To Sir With Love cover pops up.

1. If you have never seen the movie To Sir With Love, you should run to rent it. as a child, i remember watching it. I walked away with
the idea of treating people fairly, and immediately recognized discrimination based on social class, even if i didn't know what it was called, or how
prevalent it was. it took me longer to learn not to use the language of hate. Sidney Poitier is awesome.

Anyway, now the title song is stuck in my head - not because of Lulu, or Trashcan Sinatras, but because there is
a cover with Michael Stipe and Natalie Merchant. i'm a bit of an REM fanboi from what back. we were
watching letterman when they made their first national appearance. and whether i'm gardening at night, night swimming,
or not going back to rockville, they did reveal life's sweet pageant.

So they go a little freestyle here, and Stipe seems much more comfortable, but Merchant's unique voice is capable of filling wide voids.
Not what runs through my head on the bike, but was a nice stroll through the archives of my mind.

I remember seeing this show by REM in 85. We got there late, I think around Driver 8. When they came out to do the first encore it was raining lighlty, so Have you Ever Seen the Rain? was a bit ironic/timely. We hardly knew who REM where but we went because it was free. REM reminds me a lot of college days.
