Michael Stipe recently revealed that, back in the day, he and 10000 Maniacs' frontwoman Natalie Merchant were more than just friends. Since NM is a fiercely private person, I would imagine she is displeased.

Privacy is important.
Facebook/ Whatsapp / Instagram are getting creepier. Facebook suggested my boyfriend's brother as a friend... and my boyfriend doesn't even HAVE Facebook. My only connection to his brother is through him... the logical connection is that Facebook picked him from my Whatsapp... Except I don't have his brother's number... so... yeah, I don't know...

I'm not active on any of these things. The need for them to harvest as much data from me as possible makes it a non starter.

Chocolate is my only candy these days as well. I don't typically eat a lot of chocolate. When I do, my preference is in the form of Reece's cups or Kit Kats. My big candy weakness these days is various sour candies: Sour Patch Kids, sour gummies, Sweet Tarts, etc. Sweet Tarts, unfortunately, somehow make my teeth sensitive for several days after I consume them, so I try to avoid them. I've also gotten into a new permutation of Nerds candies called Big Chewy Nerds. They are crunchy on the outside and chewy inside. They come in regular and sour varieties. I like both, but surprisingly, I prefer the regular kind because the various flavors are more distinct.

Ooooh, Kit Kats. LIKE. Not so crazy about that earworm of a Kit Kat jingle, although I think Carrie Underwood's acoustic version is cute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llylWPwZz7k(Hope the link works. It was just the silent spinning circle when I tried it.)

I'll take the original Kit Kat, thank you very much. (Btw, I almost won. If this thread had gone without posts for just one more hour, I would've won. Ah, well.  )

As a child, I was somewhat obsessed with the similar shape of horseshoes to the letter "U"

Prince used "U" for "you" and "4" for "for' in his song titles.

I'm surprised Sesame Street never did a parody of "Nothing Compares 2 U" featuring the number 2 and the letter U.

Avenue Q is a very adult musical that is in the style of Sesame Street, and that's a large part of the charm. https://avenueq.com/Featuring hilarious songs that capture a lot of truth about humanity, like If You Were Gay Everyone's a Little Bit Racist You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want (When You're Making Love) Schadenfreude

I don't think I'd have ever heard of Ed Sheeran if he hadn't cameoed in Game of Thrones or had a supporting role in the recent Beatles-inspired movie Yesterday.
(BTW, the news link in that thread regarding Ed doesn't work properly anymore. What happened?)

I've seen a couple of Ed's music videos. They're good but I can't say he's a major favorite.

(BTW, the news link in that thread regarding Ed doesn't work properly anymore. What happened?) I guess whatever news website reported it decided that it was not worth keeping around for posterity. If that's the case, I agree.  IIRC (cause it's been several years now,) Sheeran was showing off in front of admirers with a big, sharp object, and accidentally jabbed himself in the cojones.

"Red at night
Sailor's delight
Red in the morning
Sailors, take warning"
I learned that one from Snoopy.

"Skyrockets in flight--Afternoon Delight!" I remember that one being popular when I was a kid and me singing along with it. Had NO idea what it was about!

A character sang this on Glee, and was utterly shocked when the Glee Club told her about the REAL meaning of Afternoon Delight...

It just occurred to me -- there should be a heavy metal version!

That could be interesting, but I'd miss the vocal harmonies!
BTW, I looked over the lyrics. They're suggestive but not gross at all. Could use more like that!
