Sad songs? Yes, Bobby G.'s 'Honey' stands out as one of the saddest ever. And I love the Don McClean version of "Crying." Speaking of Don M., has anyone mentioned (I hesitate to say this) "Vincent?" I know--I know--but hear me out. That last line, "The world was never meant for one as beautiful as you" always got to me. I really used to love that song in the 70s. Of course the song is now tainted for me--I still haven't been able to watch the "Vincident" since it originally aired. It's the only AI Clack I skip over.

Now see, I don' t watch The Vincedent for a completely different reason. Totally shallow. I thought Clay sounded beautiful on the song, but I can't watch it because the Hugo Boss suit fit him horribly and the color was awful for him. It's my least favorite of all the different outfits he's worn in the last four years. Even the Fugly jackets from the IT (?) tour.

So shoot me. **runs in zigzag trail, ducking bullets**

[muskifest]

oh what about Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven"?

ETA: Word, Bookwhore...I despised that suit with the fury of a thousand suns....yuck and yuck.

[duckyvee]

Yep, Muski, I'll give you that one.

[cindilu2]

Aww, lookit all the furbabies! I love them. Thanks gran, er lilyshines for starting that!

Waldo is Huge!!!

What? I just wanted to say that.

I do think it says something about me that the saddest sobbiest movie I ever saw was My Dog Skip! LOL!

Cindilu, set me up with that song... I edited my post before to tell you I'd listen to it, but it probably got lost in the shuffle. I wanna test my cold, shriveled up heart. Hee.

Ahhh, TOS... gotcha.

Awww....

I have this album. Heh. Love the whole thing.

eta....

YouSendIt for He's My Son

I was just coming to mention "Tears in Heaven"! Although the words are sad enough, it's actually the music that usually gets to me.

Ditto to the ugly Vincent suit. Bleh. The worst part was he wore it so many times! "Vincent" night, Top 2 "fan night," and Regis & Kelly.

laughn - I just love your dog. He's so cute!

When was Tampa? That's when I lost it! So it's been a couple of weeks...

I really am not playing with Photoshop enough - once I find a full length picture on one Beau Brummel - I will be cooking with gas!

Heh...My sad songs playlists are growing by leaps and bounds!

Oh good Lord! That's going to haunt me forever.

Dang, cindilu...that's ES and FD!

[luckiest1]

Ok, while y'all have been crying in your beer, I've been listening to seventy-billion versions of the TV medley. Sure ain't no sad songs in that! Recommendations are in the DCAT thread.

[Totally]

Ah Muski, "Tears in Heaven". One of my favorite songs of all time....that and Lover All Alone, hee.

Started to come in earlier and post that anyone who wouldn't swear on a Bible that LAA was their favorite song of ALL TIME should be kicked out of the fandom - but of course, I was only kidding. Then I worried that no one else would think I was funny.

Of course now I've said it anyway. We have a saying in our family - "Am I funny because I'm funny or am I funny because I think I'm funny?" I think half the time Clay's funny, it's because he thinks he's funny, because he DOES think he's funny....And that makes him somehow very, very funny....and very, very sexy too.

Hi Farouche!

I've read some very wise and thoughtful posts in here over the last two or three days and have come to appreciate this board all the more. I'm so impressed with the pervailing tone of inclusiveness, reason, and positiveness/kindness that I find here and appreciate the desire to stay away from old fanwars/negativity while not censuring conversation.

You go girls!

[farouche]

I love sad songs. I have a whole writing playlist for iTunes that's all the dreariest, most depressing music you can imagine. I love it.

Okay. Two posts in one day. I better go do something else before I get some sort of reputation.

I'll leave you with another hand photo -- this one is from Frisco Cary. (Thanks, Bottlecap.)

Here are two of the others on my list. Not *quite* as morose, but they both get me every time.

Eeeks, I hate to question the photographer, but given the shirt and the ring in this picture, is it not perhaps from Cary?

[Guest Toots]

cindilu..that song is just beautiful. Where did it come from and who is Mark Shultz. Stunning music and stunning voice. Thank you for the FD recommendation, that's the #1.

Yeah totally you're pretty funny. But in case you weren't kidding, don't even try to get me out of here because I'm most likely bigger than you and I'm a serious postho.

*Peeks in. Leaves photograph as a present.* (It's not a great one but it's never been posted anywhere else. It's a FCA exclusive.)

Farouche! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Welcome! And thanks for those pictures.....

So, I read PH will be on Jimmy Kimmel. Already the "Is Jimmy a true friend" controversy has begun. I guess some think the very presense of PH on Kimmel means he isn't really friends with Clay. It seems many are expecting PH to bring up Clay and are poised to see Kimmel make fun of Clay right along with him. Others are trying to have faith that Kimmel won't allow PH to diss Clay on his show - and if he does, Clay will get even.

Is Kimmel not suppose to book anyone who doesn't like Clay or who has said harsh things about him in the past?

And why do so many think Clay's name is on the tip of PH's forked tongue to begin with? Personally, I think he has bigger fish to fry.

Lastly, do some people in this fandom look for things to angst over????

And if so, why? Why, when they can look at purdy pictures, and watch clack, do they waste their time finding things to angst about? Real life has enough things to angst about. Why look for reasons?

And is anyone else getting depressed with all these sad songs???

[Gibby]

Ooooh - I love the photoshop!

WELCOME, FAROUCHE!!!

GAWD!!

Perez who?

I don't know much about him, really. I just heard the song on the radio late, late one night and it touched me. *thanks the deities for the days of Napster* I do believe Mark Shultz is a CCM artist.

Pig Hilton must have some kind of deal with ABC? First GMA, now Kimmel. Mehh. As long as Jimmy doesn't diss Clay with him, it's all good. Sure, I'd prefer if the scumbag just shrivelled up and blew away like the worthless piece of shit he is - but the world will keep on turning. Heh. Maybe Jimmy will give it to him like he gave it to that Gawker chick on LKL. I'd have to fly out to LA and kiss his feet then.

[clayrev1956]

I won't be watching Kimmel tonight--can't stand to look at PH. I think JK's producer will have made it clear to PH in the pre-interview who will and who will not be covered in the interview. So I doubt there will be a Clay-mention.

[JennaZ]

Sad songs for me:

Seventeen ("those of us with ravaged faces, lacking in the social graces, desperately remained at home, inventing lovers on the phone")

Only the Lonely

All By Myself (the scene in Bridget Jones' Diary was funny, but a little poignant too)

Ode to Billy Joe (remember the Kristi McNichol/Robbie Benson movie?)

Don't Take the Girl (country song in which the singer begs God not to take his wife, who is dying in childbirth)

[Couch Tomato]

How sad is it that of the 50 or 60 songs mentioned in the last few pages, I recgonize only a handful and know the words to maybe three.

I warned you I know nothings about pop music - but yeah, maybe that's not a bad thing!

heee you are me.

Totally. I know exactly what you're saying. Clay knows his butt is funny and sometimes he's almost laughing before he can get it out. Reminds me of th Carol Burnett show and how they used to crack each other up.

Farouche.... ahhh a name I know but a person I don't know. But she comes bearing gifts!! Looking forward to getting to know you.

CG - oooh this should be interesting. Will I have to move JK from my he's ok list to boycott list? I wish people would stop wasting energy on PH. Just don't watch.But thanks for the TV guide report -- not that I watch JK anyway when Clay's not on there now I will be sure to be sleep at midnight....dreaming about the earl of aikenberry. As for depressing..nope, not depressed -- I'm about to go to the soap thread and name a few of my all time tear jerker moments. I suddenly feel in the mood to go down memory lane. heee

JUST AWESOME!
