I was talking with someone on the phone last evening... she said she was looking for some fringe at a fabric store for a project she was working on... I could hear her asking the clerk about 'fringe'... and I asked her to ask the clerk if they carried 'Lunatic Fringe"...
This was a song by Red Rider, a Canadian band... I'm not sure if they ever had any other hit songs... The singer for 'Red Rider' was a fellow by the name of Tom Cochrane... who also recorded this song... Tom is quite an accomplished musician...
These are great "driving" songs... just hit the highway, and turn that mother up!!!! Another one of my favorite driving songs is this one...
I have always loved 'Golden Earring'...
Lunatic Fringe???
On a different note, Shoes had a birthday this week... Dayum, I'm getting OLD!!!
This appears to be the right amount of candles...

ReplyDeleteI learn somethin' new every day! I did NOT know that was Tom Cochrane!
ReplyDeleteI was on the phone one time - the person on the other end had me ask a question like that... the sales clerk asked me where I had met someone as crazy as I am... go figure!
Happy Happy HAPPY belated birthday!!! You should record the sound of that many candles being blown out... or the sound of the firetrucks arriving when there are that many candles to blow out... whew! ;-D
I'm hitting the highway today... "there's a storm on the loose..."
;-D xoxo

Yeah, I dig those songs, but know of NO OTHERS that they do, lol.
ReplyDeleteHope your birthday was great!!!!
ReplyDeletep.s. I have a birthday next month. I'll bet I can beat you on the number of candles! ;-)
happy belated! hope you had a blast. :)
ReplyDeleteone of my all-time favorite driving songs has to be "time bomb" by the old 97's. seriously - it's amazing. especially the live version. and i prefer to remember "life is a highway" as tom cochrane sings it, and not that horrorshow of a cover that rascal flatts unleashed on the world...
I sure do hope some nice woman took pity on you and gave you your well deserved birthday spanking. It's such a well deserved gift. SMILE
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday ;-)
ReplyDeleteXO
Happy birthday and damn did you have any cake in that pile of candles :D hope you was able to blow them all out and get your wish
ReplyDeleteI had a lunatic fringe contact me...what's going on??
ReplyDeleteHugsxoxox
Happy, Happy Birthday, Shoesies !
ReplyDeleteI would jump out of a cake for you and all, but you live too damn far away, and well, it wouldn't be appropriate since you are a professor and are supposed to be a shining example for your students.
I am sure a scorpio like you knows that you are ruled by your genitals, so have fun with that !
Did you know that we have a store here in my part of town called Lunatic Fringe ? It is a bellydance shop.
Happy belated birthday ~ and you are only as old as you feel. So you feel, so you are.
ReplyDelete@ Gobbles... didn't know which song was Tom Cochrane? 'Lunatic Fringe?' I didn't either until I started reading some background stuff on 'Red Rider'...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the belated birthday greetings... I fear the sound of the roar of the flames of those birthday candles burning would be deafening...
@ Heff... I know of several songs that Golden Earring recorded... most notable being "Radar Love"... I didn't know that Tom Cochrane was in 'Red Rider' however...
Auburn looked great Saturday... not sure how wise some of those fighting incidents were at the end of the game however... will those players that were ejected be ineligible for the entire Alabama game, or just the 1st half of it?
@ Big Pissy... Early birthday greetings to you!!! I bet you can NOT beat me on candle count however... :oD
@ Magnolia... the birthday was a good day, thank you... :o) Yeah, I totally agree with you... Tom Cochrane's version beats Hell out of that other effort... ;o)
... and The Old 97's.. I saw them in Memphis a few years ago... I LOVE them!!!
@ Charlene... I did get that spanking, thank you very much!!! :oD
@ Spring Flower... thank you!!!!!!!!! :o)
@ Beyond Repair... I had to scrape the melted wax off of the cake so it could be devoured... Thank you for the Birthday wishes!!!
@ Darn Girl... that fukken lunatic fringe is all OVER the place... beWARE!!!!
@ Senorita... Re: that shining example and all of that shit??? FUKKETTE!!! I'm going to the Dark Side... if I'm not alREADY there... Hmm... maybe a video of that cake-jumping-out-of... ;o)
Re: The Scorpio side of things... I know ALL about that... :oD There's a GREAT deal of truth to that too!!!!
@ Robin... Thank YOU!!! I've feeling the age on this one... I hope to be over it in a few days... :oD

Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be part of the lunatic fringe than any other fringe. Benefits are better and we have more fun!

ReplyDeleteI remember that song, I haven't heard it in forever. When I hear the name Red Rider all I can think of is the bee bee gun from A Christmas Story. My son recently bought a Red Rider.
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome birthday, Shoesies. I'd offer you a birthday ride, cars the right color, but you are just so darn far away. Even I couldn't make good time getting there. Have a great one, friend!
(and I really should proof these before posting)
RS ~ I think I may actually have nightmares tonight now. The accupuncture didn't hurt but as the mammogram n chest x-rays didn't show anything abnormal, I was referred for needle therapy. I have to have more appointments. I have to admit I thought it would hurt, I was pleasantly suprised.. a don't crave sharp objects. My left rib area apparently has some how been damaged.. well actually the area in between my actual ribs... can't remember the term she used.. she was very thorough, very good, explained everything to me in plain English. It took roughly half an hour with the needles stayin in me flesh all of 20minutes. I think this is a way forward for alternate medicine.. and hopefully in due cause and more needles it will repair itself. Hope I have helped you. Indi
ReplyDeleteLet me say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. tell me you didn't light those frigging candles without calling the fire marshal. And that song gives me chills. KEWL, DEWD.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, or "delayed" birthday as I thought it went up until I was about 16 ...
ReplyDeleteBeing Canadian, I'd be punched in the guts if I said I didn't know Tom. Here, when you say Tom, people just assume you're talking about Tom Cochrane. He opened for John Cougar a few years back and he was great. Has a bunch of good tunes ... have you listened to Big League? Check that one out.
@ Nitebyrd.. I am with YOU on the part about rather being a member of the Lunatic Fringe!! Hahahaha... Sign me UP!!!
ReplyDelete@ Just Another Girl... Oh POOT!!! I would so take you up on the car ride thingie!!!! I remember the Red Rider B B Guns!!!
@ Indi... I have read some great things about acupuncture... I would be game to try it...
@ Kurt... thank you so much, my friend!! I'm thinking the glow from the candles probably caused some to think they were seeing the Southern version of the Aurora Borealis... or maybe not.. :oD
@ Stacy... hey YOU!! Thank you for the birthday greetings... :o)
I am not familiar with Big League, but I will check that out... is that a Tom Cochrane endeavor??
~shoes~
That photo of those two guys who look alike and look pathological gives me the creeps.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday a little late, Shoes, although I think you are way too young at heart to let something like a mere birthday give you pause...Carry on!
@ Linnnn... yeah, there is something bizarre, yet... I dunno. It makes me think about during intercourse and conception, that of all of the millions of sperm that are ejaculated... that ONLY the strongest, most ablest one, makes it to the egg...
ReplyDeleteImagine what that must have said about the losers of that genetic reproductive race...
LMAO...
