Good evening all. I spent the best part of this day sitting in a doctor's office (not sick; just preventive stuff). Therefore, I've decided to make this blog about doctor trivia. Songs, TV shows, observations about doctors. I would love for you to join in with your ideas.
How many songs with "doctor" in the title or lyrics can you name? Here's what I have: "I pick, (clap, clap); names of, (clap, clap); doctors, (clap, clap); five a piece, (clap, clap); no repeats, (clap, clap): memba that game?
1. Doctor's Orders - Carol Douglas
2. Doctor My Eyes - Jackson Browne
3. Dr. Feel Good - Aretha Franklin
4.The Witch Doctor - Alvin and The Chipmunks
5. Doctor Love - Tina Charies
T V doctors ( Real or not):
1. Dr. Kildare
2. Dr. Ben Casey
3. Dr. Welby
4. Dr. Phil
5. Dr. Oz
What type of Doctor am I?
1 .I deliver babies. What type of doctor am I?
2. I get under your skin. What's my title?
3 .I deal with the male genitalia and reproductive system. I am called a____________?
4. My specialty is the female genitalia and reproductive system. I am called a__________?

Good Morning music lovers! Did you watch The American Music Awards show last night? You bet I did! I missed the opening and Janet Jackson's performance because I was watching the very funny Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO, which I ordinarily don't watch. The episode featured Vivica A. Fox, playing as "the black woman," who performed a certain service on Larry David's character (he plays himself). Vivica is cursing him out because he wants to return to his wife, and accuses him of getting a taste of "brown sugar," then moving on...or something to that effect. By now, I was hooked, and continued watching the next episode, which was the reunion episode. It featured the cast from the Larry David created show, Seinfeld. I was watching this, when I saw a feed on FB from a friend, talking about some dress Paula Abdul was wearing on The AMA's. I quickly turned and caught the rest of the show. I still missed Whitney's performance...I don't know...I must have dozed or something. I did see her win an "International Award of Excellence." Is this a newly created award? Anyway, congratulations to Whitney. Here are some of my observations:
Thanks to Kanye West, Taylor Swift won damn near every award in sight for a female artist, including the coveted Favorite Female Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop Female, Favorite Country Female and get this, Adult Contemporary. Isn't she still seventeen? Or is that her "show business age?" Go Taylor; it's because of Kanye!...Jay-Z was introduced by his new BF, A. Rod of The New York Yankees, and with his new muse, Alicia Keyes, he performed Empire State of Mind. He had the LA audience mouthing the words, and bobbing their heads. When Jay gave props to New York, I thought I heard some slight booing. Maybe it was my imagination. Anyway, enough of this East Coast-West Coast rivalry nonsense...kudos to the many talented people on both coasts! Speaking of Jay, his beautiful wife B, was conspicuously absent! And when she was announced as the winner of the Favorite Female in the Soul/R&B award (read: black category), the award had to be accepted by the presenters. Huh? Why didn't Jay accept it for her? I'm just saying. Curioser and curioser...when Jay gave thanks for his Favorite Hip-Hop award, he thanked everyone involved, except...guess who? Another observation: There was a whole lot of "channeling" happening on the show: Lady Ga Ga channeled Madonna, Rihanna channeled Lady Ga Ga, my Bronx home girl J Lo channeled Rihanna, right down to Rihanna's signature "eh, eh, eh!" Home girl danced and stepped up on some male dancer's backs, jumped off and landed on her celebrated derriere! Proving to be a typical Nu-Yawker, she got right back up...in style! As she exited the stage, she quipped, "did you miss me?" Go J Lo! Getting back to Rihanna channeling Lady Ga Ga: the performance was rather...please fill in the blank if you saw the show. She was wearing an interesting "cat suit meets the mummy" outfit, but she has the figure to pull it off! The late, great Michael Jackson won at least two awards: Favorite Male Artist and Album of the Year for his "Number Ones" albumn. Brother Jermaine accepted the award like it was for him...LOL! Watching all the shenanigans made me long for "real music" "real singers" and, alas...the artists of days gone by...oh well.

"Left Coast...Right Coast?"
Good Morning! Buenos Dias! Bonjour! Buongiorno! Welcome to week two of a collaboration of voices from both coasts, and all points in between. The mission of this blog is to present points of view from women and men in the form of commentary, poetry, observations, artwork, photography and any media you wish to contribute, that you feel represents you or your coast. Often, people have preconceived notions about others, due to geographic location, that is sometimes positive, but more often negative. I say we are more alike than different, regardless of where our seeds were planted! By the way, I have never said "NuYawk" and I am not rude!...and your Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops are a fashion statement!

"Random Musings"
Good Morning peeps!
Lately, I have been waking up with a song on my mind from which to draw inspiration for my writing. Oddly, that didn't happen this morning. I'm not saying I don't ever have thoughts unrelated to songs, but I like having that connection. Instead, I will draw from the many songs that are swirling around in my psyche, plus throw in some "random musings." Yes, I know...I am being somewhat self-indulgent (like most jazz is) but as The Isley Brothers said, "It's Your Thing, Do What You Want to Do"... So, I will.
The Top Tens Signs That Christmas is Coming:
1. The heavy rotation of commercials letting us know the Hess Truck is coming and it's better than ever...
2. We just said good-bye to Summer...didn't we?
3. Over Stock is running it's recycled commercial from years back, with the woman singing and everyone dressed in white.
4. Your kids are acting especially nice and/or complaint
5. Cool Old Navy commercials with young people dancing and singing (lest yee forgot who their targeted audience is).
6. You start receiving emails about "wish lists"
7. Macy's skipped Halloween and Thanksgiving and cut to the chase, by putting up Christmas decorations in September.
8. Nat King Cole's version of The Christmas Song is on your mind (fess up...you know it is)
9. A Christmas Story is beginning it's marathon run on TV.
10. "Black" is beautiful again...as in "Black Friday"...one of the biggest shopping days of the year for retailers.
Random: Santas are now asking for the H1N1 shots first! And forget letting your kids sit on Santa's lap!
There! That's all I have on that subject for now. Can you think of more signs? Please add yours...
