I was listening to **Overjoyed** the other night with all the lights off, watching the snow fall. THAT was a moment. ---

**Neurotik** , me too! Stevie Wonder can be counted upon to put me in a good mood: **Uptight, For Once In My Life, THAT GIRL** :::_That girl thinks that she’s so baaad, she turns my joy from sad… bomp bomp bah dah domp_::: (I think those are the words.) Oh **WSLer**! **Overjoyed** and **Isn’t She Lovely** both make me cry! Such beautiful songs. Wasn’t **Isn’t She Lovely** written about his child? ---

If it wasnt for Stevie Wonder, I wouldn’t know the joy of pogoing and waving my t-shirt around my head at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. ---

I’ve been listening to his box set **At The End Of The Century** at work today. Fabulous. Outstanding. Excellent. One of the best box sets released in 1999. Which was a surprise considering the horribly crappy job MoTown did on the previous Stevie Wonder compilation **Song Review**. **At The End Of The Century** is well worth the $55-60 it costs, so rush out and get it RIGHT NOW!!! ---

I just listened to Talking Book a couple of hours ago. Great album. Tuesday Heartbreak, to be exact. The whole album is innovative. He makes me happy too. 😃 I need to rush out and at least get a good compilation of his hits. ---

Hmmm…I just realized that Stevie Wonder does not always make me happy. I put on “Music of My Mind,” and I had forgotten how sad some of it is. “…When the winter came, you were not around, through the bitter winds love could not be found” The final song, “Evil” is a heartbreaker. Maybe I should turn this off and put on “The Secret Life of Plants” instead? That will make me think of spring. ---

“Superstition” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” are both _guaranteed_ to make me smile. And probably bop around in my chair, too.
