At the time almost every item in my wardrobe was Versace. The suits I wore to work, the ties, the shirts, the shoes. After his sister took over I bought less and less of the brand and now I have none of the clothes. Were you that close to him??? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find all of their music on youtube. Here is another one i like a lot. This song they wrote in hour of a fan who was killed by a car,drunk driver i believe. Thanks, this is very good stuff. The lead singer has serious skills. Not sure why I can't find them on Apple Music. Err...maybe I do know why I can't find them... which is quite sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 This song, especially the video attached to it, gets me in the feels every time I hear it. Even though it is 7(?) years old and the figures quoted (in the video) are lower than they are today, it gets to me.

thaibeachlovers Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 The part I'm quoting from "The River" by Springsteen, especially the bit about " I'd lie awake And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take Now those memories come back to haunt me They haunt me like a curse" Memories of mine from my marriage. ............................................................. I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy Now all them things that seemed so important Well, mister, they vanished right into the air Now I just act like I don't remember And Mary acts like she don't care But I remember us riding in my brother's car Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir At night on them banks I'd lie awake And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take Now those memories come back to haunt me They haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie if it don't come true Or is it something worse That sends me down to the river Though I know the river is dry That sends me down to the river tonight Ah-yah-yah Down to the river My baby and I Oh, down to the river we ride Ah-yah-ay .............................................................................................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I served in the military, but my generation's war, Vietnam, ended for us before I got there. I served over 10 years, but a military without a purpose does not make for a happy organisation, and after all those that saw real action in Vietnam left it became a place I did not want to be, so I left it. Too much bureaucracy and petty BS ruined it, IMO. The day I left, was the day I became nothing to the military, so I can empathise with the sentiments in the VDO. They use you and then discard you, but that seems to be life in general today. Rather sad, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far we’ve only spent time in Logroño, but as soon as we get our residency card (our appointment with immigration is this Tue), I’m going to buy a car so we can venture out. Hopefully, getting our green card will go better than getting the empadronamiento (proof of address), which took 4 trips to city hall - I even had a translator go with us each time!
