I Lost That Recipe!

I can't remember my oat meal recipe. 1 Part Water, 1 Part Milk, & 1 Part Oatmeal?
This reminds me of this song:
Mac Arthur Park by Donna Summer

This same song, Mac Arthur Park also performed by Richard Harris.

How sad that the new generation, perhaps, only remembers him by his most current roles in Harry Potter as Albus Dumbledore!

Pretenders - Back on the Chain Gang

One of my very favorite songs, Back on the Chain Gang, by Pretenders, from their album, Learning to Crawl.
After a more than two-year hiatus - during which time James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon both died of drug overdose - new wave pioneers The Pretenders released their third album Learning to Crawl in 1984.

Rockpile's Billy Bremner and Big Country's Tony Butler played guitar and bass respectively on the September 1982 single "Back on the Chain Gang"/"My City Was Gone." Bremner, The Rumour's Andrew Bodnar, and Paul Carrack (after his brief stint with Squeeze) played guitar, bass and piano for the track "Thin Line Between Love and Hate," released on the album itself.

Finally, Robbie McIntosh and Malcolm Foster were recruited to fill out the band. "2000 Miles"/"Fast or Slow (The Law's the Law)" was released as a single a year later (November 1983) as the newly-reconsituted foursome's first release, followed by Learning to Crawl in January 1984.

Chrissie Hynde of Pretenders, one of my old favorites!



Back on the Chain Gang, Pretenders:
I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We’ve been cast out of? oh oh oh oh
Now were back in the fight
Were back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh
The phone, the tv and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they’ve done to you
But Ill die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They’ll fall to ruin one day
For making us part

I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh oh oh oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now were back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang
