strange, disturbing, and amusing FM moments with friends and family

[GateandGarden]

The past year has brought some interesting FM moments for me, so here are a few.

At Christmas, my sister-in-law was genuinely upset when I opened my Heroes are Hard to Find CD. She took one look at the cover and said it was disturbing. I laughed, and she even more serious and said, "That is really horrible!"

One of my brothers told my Mom that I said I'd trade all of my FM CDs for one of her gifts. She looked at him strangely and he said, "Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies." Then he looked at me and asked, "Well, I made a Mac reference, isn't that good?" I said, "I'm not impressed. That one is too well-known. Reference the blues era and I'll be impressed." He said, "I don't know anything about that." I said, "All you have to say is 'I got a black magic woman,'" and he then said, "You mean the Carlos Santana song?" I said, "No! I mean the Fleetwood Mac song that Carlos Santana remade!"

Comment from another one of my brothers--"Oh you like Fleetwood Mac now? They were good until they let those two chicks join the band. That ruins every band."

My Mom, seeing Lindsey in the "Little Lies" video--"OH MY GOD HE LOOKS GOOD!!!"

My English teacher, after seeing me wearing my pink Stevie shirt--"Stevie Nicks, huh? What's she doing these days?" "She came out with a new album with Fleetwood Mac last year, and they've been touring," I said. "Oh, never mind then," she said.

Same English teacher, another day when I'm wearing my red Christine McVie shirt. "Don't you have a pink one like that?" she asks. "No, that one has Stevie on it." She shakes her head at me.

Well, I thought they were entertaining tidbits, but seem less entertaining now that I've typed them.

Anyone else?

I'm surprised your cousin didn't follow that up with "She's just so fat now and she had a great figure back then."

That's funny, because I've always thought of "As Long As You Follow" as a wintery/Christmasy type song too.

I think I've figured out why though... it was released as a single in late November/early December, and it was just a couple days before Christmas when my cousin called me to tell me the video was playing on MTV (the first time I had seen it).

Not to mention the video's pretty wintery, what with all the snow.

Yeah, I think I saw the video once and I associated the song with winter from then on.

Me: "That's Rick Vito. He's a great guitarist, played for all kinds of people, like Bob Seger--"
My mom: "Oh! I LOVE 'Night Moves!' And Rick Vito is kinda cute. Not a bad singer either...More masculine than Lindsey."

My mom, when watching ANYTHING with Lindsey in it: GOD he's so gay. Was that in his eyeliner phase? Shut up, Lindsey, you're so full of yourself. I have no idea what Stevie saw in you.


She also likes to sing along sometimes, with hilarious results. Merf or Riss can tell you about those.

[DeadliestPoison]

Oh. Some more. She seriously says these EVERY. TIME.

While watching/listening to The Dance: Was this when Stevie was on drugs?
While watching the Mirage concert: Girlfriend needs to LOSE THE BLUSH.
While watching anything from the 80s: Stevie's got the poodle-hair thing going on.
While watching the Stand Back video: You know, back in the 80s? I had hair like that. And every girl wanted to be JUSTLIKESTEVIE and every guy wanted to be with her. (Me: Whatev, Mom. )
While watching anything in which Mick's eyes go all crazy-like: WoOoO! WILD MAN!
While watching anything in which Mick's being stupid: (insert laughter here) He's so funny!
While watching Stand Back: Black widow, I can mend? What?! (Me: -_-)
While watching anything with Sharon: Who's the ugly skinny one?

Seriously, guys. Every. Time.

Hey, my Mom says that, too!

This is more towards me:

Mom: "THAT'S IT! I'm sick of you twirling around, tapping your fist on your hand. I'm buying you a tambourine."



.Mission Complete.

Will you have the mp3 files available for download soon?

Believe me, it gets annoying after a while.

MP3s, though? Hmm. My computer's microphone cord isn't long enough to get near the other room, otherwise --
