Arnold… that brings back imagry of “A Clockwork Orange” and the William Tell Overture * * * Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. ---

I’m stunned that no one’s mentioned my favorite yet - Bolero. Starts out soft and seductive, gradually becomes loud and raunchy. Put it in the CD player on Repeat, and you’re good to go. Try it, you’ll thank me. ---

No thanks; Bolero always makes me think of “Caveman” with Ringo Starr for some reason. Yikes! How about Yello? This Mortal Coil works, too (tired of Dead can Dance-- too long in grad school studying art–there’s no escape from it there), and I’ve recently discovered The Damned. The CDs that are ALWAYS in the machine right now, though are the last few Elliot Smith things, so I do lots of things to those. The good Reverend Horton Heat if I’m feeling goofy. ---

## When I was younger, I listened to Samhain or early Danzig, or Type O Negative. Love the deep evil voices. These days, music would be drowned out by the screaming, panting and moaning so why bother? John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. That’s my name too. Wait, no it isn’t. ---

Fiona Apple, Poe, and DMB are the ones who immediately come to mind. Especially Fiona. I _must_ have the song that was played during the Kevin Spacey/Mena Suvari seduction scene in American Beauty. _Never Tear Us Apart_ by INXS is a good one. ## The soundtracks from _The Craft_ and _The Saint_ are excellent choices, in my personal experience. “…all the prettiest girls live in Des Moines…” –Jack Kerouac, _On the Road_ ---

When I was little,I thought the song Crystal Blue Persuasion would be great,but never had the chance to use it. I’ve never had music on when doing “it”.But if I could,I might choose anything by Boy George.He has a nice voice! * * * We are on an irreversible path to democracy and freedom.
