Kind of like New York in that way.<br /><br />Sharon: I'm a Scorpio, actually, but maybe I have Virgo tendencies?!<br /><br />Kevin: I always understood that song to be a criticism of American contentment -- like, we think we have it so good with all our material crap but do we REALLY? I'll have to go back and read all the lyrics! It's one of those songs I like more now than when it was popular. I'm going to sound old, here, but pop music used to be SO much better.<br /><br />Sarah: Ha! Which street was it? That's really funny. I'm having street photography dreams, too. :) You're doing some great stuff, by the way!<br /><br />Ms. Moon: I guess a pink house CAN be a bit of a celebration! I'm not too worried about my thoughts and beliefs -- more my tendency to be casually, unthinkingly snarky.<br /><br />Linda Sue: Yeah, the problem with a novelty paint job like that is that it could get very tiring very fast!<br /><br />E: Cheese & pickle is great!<br /><br />Elizabeth: When I say "pickle" here, it's not like a dill pickle -- it's more like a brown pickled vegetable chutney. Branston's pickle, to be specific. But any kind of pickly thing would probably work.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-2282952855667857442014-09-08T06:04:10.017+01:002014-09-08T06:04:10.017+01:00I love the sound of a cheese and pickle sandwich -...I love the sound of a cheese and pickle sandwich -- perhaps I'll make one tomorrow for my lunch!

I had my house (in a very old and traditional neighborhood) painted pink. I mean, BRIGHT pink. I loved it! And actually, it was through that paint job that I met Mr. Moon who was subcontracted to paint my shutters (gray). <br />So. <br />There you go. <br />We should all be less afraid of color. And less afraid of worrying what someone might think about what we say or believe. You hear me? You are allowed, Steve Reed, to have your own thoughts and beliefs!

There was a house in Leicester like that-though a bit bigger and they also had a pink car which your photo reminded me about. You photographed my old street in Deptford-in fact it may well have been our flat! I woke up this morning having just finished dreaming about postcodes and lists!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-27805832539797788662014-09-07T16:19:11.939+01:002014-09-07T16:19:11.939+01:00Sheesh, Steve, I came here to take you to task abo...Sheesh, Steve, I came here to take you to task about misreading those lyrics. However, after spending some more time with the lyrics, I find I cannot do it. :-)<br />However, now I'm trying to figure the song out. The lyrics seem too sincere and the music too uplifting for it to be a "God Bless America" satire, but there's enough darkness in the words to support just that. It also flirts quite a bit with themes about people being content, which might actually be a better reading of the song.<br />Either way, the song is definitely a lot more than it appears to be on the surface--he's quite an amazing songwriter.Kevin Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288559372955795301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-36520555769025870162014-09-07T16:01:00.569+01:002014-09-07T16:01:00.569+01:00That pink house, pink car with the pink hubcaps is...That pink house, pink car with the pink hubcaps is quite a find! If I had seen that here, I would surely have stopped for a photo too. Your comment about "knitting together" to two areas made me wonder, are you a Virgo? I am and I have this compulsion to round everything out, complete the set, and do things in order. Sometimes I have to fight off the obsession.

I'm always amazed that the houses in England are right there on the side of the road, front door steps from the roadway.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.com
