The Music
What is music if not food for the soul? And in that thread, what were the 80’s and broken hearts without Bon Jovi and ‘Bad Medicine’???!!??
Love it
Anything by Johnny Cash or Al Green for me—can’t help it with the voices there. An easy and free way to get a playlist is Pandora.com. Love songs are standard though—go on your tastes. Here are some suggestions:
"Lay Lady Lay," Bob Dylan
"Love Me Tender," Elvis Presley
"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," The Police
"How Deep Is Your Love," The Bee Gees
"Let's Stay Together," by Al Green
"Love Song," The Cure
"Something," The Beatles
"Crazy in Love," Beyoncé
"I Want You To Want Me," Cheap Trick
"My Girl," The Tempations"
"Pour Some Sugar on Me," Def Leppard
"I Walk The Line,” Johnny Cash
"Ring of Fire," Johnny Cash (fun fact – his wife, June Carter Cash – wrote this song)
"I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend," The Ramones
"Crash into Me," Dave Matthews
"Forever," Ben Harper
"At Last," Etta James
Hate it
As some celebrate Valentine's Day, let's all remember those poor, tortured souls who've been screwed over, dumped, or otherwise had their hearts broken.

WOW, what great idea's for LOVE Day. No matter what I like to celebrate V day too. Even when I was single I'd throw a cocktail party and treat myself to a nice dinner. And this year since it's on Saturday maybe I'll throw a party many of the bleeding hearts that I know. At any rate I'll be baking some Valentine treats for my lovely co-workers. Happy love-fest!
Wow - a music list to boot! Excellent. Interesting though, song list is a wee bit longer on the Hate It side!
Belated response to a great entry! I especially love the "Special Equipment" head's up, and the drink list is divine.
Hey, just checked out not only your recipes but your Love It/Hate It music list for Love Day....
Just an observation, but your Hate It list is longer than your Love It list!! C'mon now!
PS>> Happy that your Saints WON!!!!!!
