The Michael Stanley Band was, and still is, a great band. I was in a band that did a couple of their tunes. They had a few national hits in the early 1980's like "He Can't Love You" with Clarence Clemmons on sax, "Lover", and "My Town"

Here is their website.

Cool some of youi know MSB - a great band indeed. Their biggest chart hit was "He Can't Love You" - that's probably the one songsmith is thinking of. And props to moxham for noting some other hits.... too cool.

Listening to this song, I just had to post the lyrics..... One of my all-time favorite lines:
"Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway..."

God I wish I could write something that good......

Lover
from "Heartland", 1980, EMI Records Group

Well the glow from the bars and a thousand stars
Light the cold Ohio night
And the Turnpike's slick, the snow's as thick as thieves

Since your call came through there ain't nothing new
But the radio and the headlights
And the news at the top of the hour
That no one really believes,
do they...

(CHORUS:)
Lover...what you want to go and do that for
Lover...why'd you want to tear it apart
Lover...you say you got your reasons, but I need more
Lover...give me back my heart
Give it back, girl

When the cold comes to stay it takes your breath away
And it makes the hours crawl
And it feels to me like I've been driving forever

Then your words return, the whole place burns
And I just don't know where to begin
Girl could you just make it anybody else
Anybody else but him, could you...

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
And somewhere ahead tonight
With fine wine and candlelight
He's gonna turn your head around
Girl what you want me to do
If I leave this thing all up to you
I'm gonna lose the best thing I've found
I can see what's going down

So I talk to the night, I head for the light
Try and hold it on the road
Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway

Baby what you gonna do when the fire is through
And you find he's out looking for somebody new
Cause you did everything that he wanted you to do
And now you're all alone and crying,
aren't you...

(CHORUS)

I believe the topic should have been titled "What Are You Listening To."

In my case it would be The Philharmonic Orchestra.

You're welcome my "peeps."

Technically, it should be "To what are you listening?" One should not end a sentence in a preposition, and an interrogative statement ends with a question mark.

If you are going to play the game, at least do it right, dipshit.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion my friend. However, if you look at my statement you will find my sentence is grammatically correct. The quotations place the phrase as the object of a preposition, and since the statement is inferred as such, there is no need for a question mark.

I have researched your word "dipshit."

There is an entry at dictionary.com that is spelled "dip shit." I sure hope that you don't think that negatively of me. I simply missed being here my "peeps."

BTW... I prefer The Michael Schenker Band.

A bloke hooked me up with a free House of Cain CD at this weekend's HF1 show. My co-workers and I have enjoyed it.

Say, if I were to "slit my wrists and fork my tongue", would I have I lawsuit?
