The Memorial Day 2008 Super Meme

4 Comments »

 

Mary McKnight thought it would be funny to Meme me. A meme is a sort of internet chain letter, yeah I know we all hate chain letters, I’m no exception. A meme lets other people know details about you that you might not otherwise disclose on your blog. This particular meme revolves around the number 8. There are 8 questions and I have to annoy 8 other bloggers to do this as well. The number 8 is the infinity symbol, 8 is Mary’s favorite number and it is 2008.

 

 

So without further ado:

 

 

1. Who is your favorite musical artist? (post a youtube video)

Oh great! How am I supposed to pick a favoite artist? There are so many! From which era of my life? For which one of my moods? Good grief!

  • Pink Floyd?
  • Billy Joel?
  • Bruce Springsteen?
  • The Beach Boys?
  • Bette Midler?
  • The Beatles?
  • The Stones?
  • Billie Holiday?
  • Billy Idol?
  • Cat Stevens?
  • David Bowie?
  • Eric Clapton?
  • Etta James?
  • Louis Armstrong?
  • Harry Chapin?
  • The Mama’s and the Papa’s?
  • and on and on and on…

Ok, I grew up in New York and when I was a kid I would travel with my Grandmother during the summers. One of our many trips took us to California. I was 14 and I knew I arrived at my future home the minute my foot hit the tarmac and I breathed in the California air.

My hat is off to the Mama’s and the Papa’s for this one:

 

 

2. Who is your favorite artist (post a flicker photo)

Wyland, a Laguna Beach Artist famous for his dolphin and whale paintings.  He has painted walls and buidings all over the world.  Unfortunately his paintings are very much copyrighted and are not available to post here.

    Wow, lots of really interesting stuff there.  Got to say- Lee Iococca is one of my favorites too!  Anyone that had that much confidence in his own ability to turn a crippled business around and stand in front of a product to guarantee it when the general public felt it was crap has my vote!

  • Cyndee Haydon [Visitor] said:
