Well, I did this last night.

[kozar]

I was feeling lonely,my strokes, etc, and asked myself, what did you used to do? And I drove to a Karaoke bar, I haven't sang, since LilBit,.
And I was shaking, stone cold sober. the I heard the crowd making comments as it was a bar. Not pretty ones . And,
I heard the first note of the song and my brain shut off. And I hit the music again, I was back in my heart, felt healed. And I don't remember the 2nd half of the song. I just remember touching my ear to the KJ cuz I couldn't hear my voice.
Long story short, I been through death and anger, and said some hateful things,
I had to get back into, my heart.
And the bar owner asked me to commit to coming back again
From my heart,
. Koz

12. This reminded me of a Mama Cass song!

[kozar]

15. I'm sorry

The 60s , pop music doesn't touch me. Horribly written songs for tv ,aka Monkees, brady bunch. Etc , etc and Mama Cass. I'll do Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond , even Harry Chapin, but you posted a vid, of Mama Cass? .
You , posting this,, you kinda didn't hear my point.

[Scrivener7]

16. Tanuki didn't miss your point. They were being supportive of you. People have different tastes.

Tanuki didn't deserve a scornful reply.

17. Listen, Kozar. I'm mostly taking a break from posting, but I'm compelled to respond to you here.

My mental health is shit right now due to some situational factors in my life., and therefore, I have not been posting, and I probably won't be posting for awhile. But your response to Tanuki has gotten under my skin. This is a hot button for me, and I'd like you to hear what I am saying.

I'm losing people to death and illness left and right. My own health is failing.

I recognize that I'm in a dark place, and it wouldn't really be fair of me to spread any negativity to people who have nothing to do with my situation.

For the most part, I'm taking a much needed break. Maybe you should do the same.

You are bouncing back and forth between ugly scorn, and happy posts.

Your reply to Tanuki was fucking uncalled for, and you likely ruined their day with your response. Tanuki's response offered nothing but joy and support to you, and you slammed their nice response.

You called out others by name in a post the other day that ended up getting disappeared by moderation.

I understand that you are going through some things. We all are going through some things. Don't make people feel worse with ugly responses that are unwarranted.

Please stop it. People are supporting you here.

13. Singing is Power.

You’ve made me think about it.

I was the frontman for a local California rock band, but it’s been many years.

Sounds like fun!

[Morbius]

14. That's what music is for.

Happy for you.
