Note to Nomad: When I collected these, it made me think of that day you and I were on here posting pictures that made us think...and feel.

And then we got ragged on for being too gloomy. Remember? That was a good day. :-6

Thanks Magenta, that's good to know. I will check those other songs out. I don't really know how popular they were here, I just remember that "Beds" was on the radio ALL the time.

Magenta, what is the last one? Why is that guy on a leash?

I kind of thought it might be, but no, I wasn't sure. I could barely make out that it was a person on the end of that...rope. That's disgusting. And no, I haven't seen this particular photo before that I can recall.
