Only one song this week from my wife’s collection; the other nine are all mine:
1. "Tuesday’s Gone", Lynyrd Skynyrd
2. "Echo Park", Joseph Arthur (Just discovered him, thanks to blogger recommendations)
3. "Human Nature", Michael Jackson (My favorite MJ song, hands down)
4. "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters", Elton John (My second favorite EJ track)
5. "Los Caminos de la Vida" Sabor Vallenata
6. "Civil War", Guns n’ Roses
7. "I Ain’t Ever Satisfied", Steve Earle (This was my theme song for my entire twenties)
8. "When I Was a Boy", Dar Williams (Sometimes I play it to my women’s studies class…)
9. "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man", Prince
10. "La Piragua" Gabriel Romero y su Orquesta
Bonus Tracks, both mine:
"Only Tongue Can Tell", Trashcan Sinatras
"Better is One Day", Matt Redman (Get those praisin’ hands in the air and sway…)
I love “When I was a Boy” - so what does your women’s studies class think of it?
I haven’t played it for them in a few years — most liked it very much. It’s one of those songs, like No Doubt’s “Just a Girl”, that gets a basic point across in a compelling way, one that isn’t possible without music.

heck yeah
And I have lost some kindness, but I was a girl, too. And you were just like me, and I was just like you.
