the post-Thanksgiving bumrush of Xmas music began minutes into 11/24 (Monkey King and I know this because we stupidly went out pre-dawn for the shopping mayhem). They also include in the rotation that Vanessa Williams "Save the Best for Last" song!!
The song is no great shakes and fer cryin' out loud, there's but one line in there that even mentions snow, and it's about how "sometimes the snow comes down in June". That is not Christmas-y, my friends. Going by that logic, any song with a mention of snow or ice is fair game.
Frank Zappa's "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" should be piping through the malls (and it IS great shakes). Or anything by that white Toronto reggae guy Snow (which probably isn't).
Home ISP update: Someone's been doling out bum cable modems to me causing numerous problems. Get on the ball! I'm talking to you, Cablevision.
Hope Thanksgiving was good for all.

It's almost time for another group of millionaires to do a special telling us to give to the children.
Maybe if they stopped singing and donated their wealth for a change it would help more..
Frank Zappa was a god.
But Vanessa Williams is MAGICAL. Just like Christmas.
"Yellow Snow" would make a great seasonal mall or elevator song.
Vanessa Williams says it like this though:
"Shometimsh the shnow comsh down in June"
listen again. i do not lie.
I thought the same thing when I heard the theme song for "Peanuts" playing on the "all-Christmas" radio station: "what the..." There was more than one Peanuts special that used that song besides the Christmas episode. I vote for Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" as a Christmas song next year. That has snow in it.
Dear Sir,
I'm going to organize a boycott of your blog for watering down Christmas.
