Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye

;)

I don't understand that line, "someday somebody's gonna make you wanna turn around and say goodbye."

The picture of the hardcore band singer I included with that post seems to have disappeared already.

But yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense anyway.

why are you not mine, Kal Penn?

the only thing shannon and i could agree on was concrete blonde because i was totally obsessed with this dude named joe and she liked the song about god getting his ass kicked.

who is kal penn?

Kumar of "Harold and" fame

oooh i see

i am going to dig out concrete blonde tape right now

I think she means that someday somebody is going to make you want to say goodbye and turn around (and leave), but don't! Hold on to your codependent! And don't turn around and then say goodbye because the person might not hear you!

BREAKOUT!

ha!

Kal Penn's real name was a crossword clue a few weeks ago.

but it's so weird because right after that line, she sings, "until then, baby, don't let 'em hold you down and make you cry" as though the moment when someone makes you want to turn around and say goodbye is like, a fateful event that will be some sort of turning point?

I don't know Kal Penn's real name.

she can't be expected to make any sense with that haircut.

Kalpen Modi (an Indian dude I work with reiterates this for some reason)

ha! there are people out there more creepily obsessed with kal penn than I!

Kal Penn reminds me of my friend Amar from middle and high school, though last I heard Amar was heavy into martial arts so he's probably not as cool as Kal Penn.

His dad was a Mountie.

Amar's, not Kal Penn's (as far as I know).

she also had quite a haircut at one point, Lisa Stansfield.

Oh crap, I thought that was CeCe Peniston.

Sarah has met CeCe Peniston and I'm sure will tell you the story if you ask her when she's around.

that is a truly awful name

^^^^this

I was going to mention that but I thought I'd leave that inevitability up to someone else.

i never even thought about it until just now when you posted it!

"British Soul Invasion" sounds like it has as much to do with soul as the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion has to do with blues.

double post but oh well

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaayeeeeeeay chakanananahhhh

I was looking for a photo of that curl, 'shoe, and couldn't find it!

does that curl have a name?

spit curl

So, we know that Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder brought the excess and makeup of hair-metal fashion to an end for male rockers, but who brought the 80s to an end for the women? Alanis, with her natural style?

...or, as lisa preferred, "jerome"

THANK YOU, AMANDA!

I was racking my brain to remember.

Lisa Stansfield in that spit curl picture has a very 90s look to her makeup.

haha that was pretty much my makeup in high school. dark eyeliner on top, bright red lipstick, translucent powder to give me that desirable pallor of the dead. if i had had more balls i would have gone for a fake audrey horne mole, but i was too timid. oh high school.
