Hey Jake,

I debated about whether or not I should say this, but I can't stand the song "November Rain," which you listed as one of your favorites.  I found the video extremely depressing for a number of reasons, and so to this day I can't listen to the song without crying.

But as long as you like the song, that's fine as long as I don't have to listen to it! 

I know it is pretty sad.

The lyrics are sad too.

I just love the tune!

Man, there's a lot of songs that I love the tune to, but the lyrics just blow holes in it. Take for instance, "What if God was one of us". The tune rocks! But I refuse to listen to it because of the blatantly ignorant lyrics.

November Rain is cool though.

- but I agree about the video. Totally stupid. Like, did he have to jump THROUGH the cake!? And they didn't have to show them frenching when they got married.

How about "Don't you Cry"? That's a good one too!

As you can tell from my selections I love sad music. As the Greeks knew, tragedy is the greatest form of art.

Wrong! It's Guns 'n' Roses.

Nope. It's Kenny Rogers.

You want to know something sad?

On the way home from work, I went *DOH! I said Sweet Child of Mine was by Aerosmith!*

Ok so I had a major brain fluffy air extraction. I know Sweet Child of mine is Guns N Roses, you can't miss the Axel in the song.

What I MEANT, was: my favorite rock song is Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N Roses AND anything by Aerosmith (they are my favorite band)

and I really couldn't remember which Kenny sung with Dolly. Thanks.

I have these brain fluffy air extractions all the time, that's why I'm so happy (see my signature).
