Swing by Rock Turtleneck on Halloween and you're going to get Candy, and lots of it. All of the following songs have "Candy" in the title, yet none of them seem to be about corn-syrup filled sweets. As with so many metaphors in rock, "candy" seems to be a sugar-coated way of singing about sex, drug addiction, transvestities or, preferably, sex with drug-addicted transvestites. Happy Halloween!

Digital Memory sure is becoming cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. I wonder when we will eventually hit the rate of 1 cent to 1 GB.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the day when I will finally be able to afford a 20 TB harddisk, lol. But for now I will be satisfied with having a 16 gig Micro SD in my R4i.
