Tonight’s ‘Funkalicious Friday’ is presented with my sincerest apologies to ‘K9K’ and ‘BD’…I’m not fit to hold your usb cables….
So in the spirit of filling in on someone else’s funkalicious time slot….and with full awareness of my own lack of funkaliciousness….tonight’s installment will be dedicated to cover songs.
Dylan wrote it, Jimi rocked it….

Ok, so it’s one week until Christmas. I think if I were to cave to my mood right now, give in and throw up like I want to, all that would come out would be sparkly ribbons with a snowflake motif (cause I DID eat quite a lot of snow last week).
Acting Christmassy is one of the many ways that I pretend everything is OK so that everyone who’s so worried about me will leave me alone. Before you start worrying about me…there ARE people who I trust and who know better than to try to ‘fix’ everything for me who I can turn to when I need….I just like to keep a lot of the other ‘supporting characters’ in my life at arm’s length. They’re well-meaning people who just don’t listen….how’s that for overly simplifying the entire matter??… 😉 ok…digress…NOW…
So, in order to maintain the illusion, I dutifully participate in all of the Christmas crap as before, though for the life of me I can’t remember an actual Christmas I’ve enjoyed. I love picking out gifts for people….I love the idea of Christmas….I just happen to have one of those families that it’s a miracle haven’t been featured in one of those dark comedy movies I love so much…or on Dr. Phil… 😉
So, in the spirit of giving, I offer you one of my all-time favorite songs. It was written by the members of Toad the Wet Sprocket, but there isn’t a YouTube video of their version. So, here’s a cover by some random dude who needs to stick to the melody a little more…..just sayin’… 😉
