A broken wrist having kept me from snowboarding I went out this afternoon to capture a copy of Shutter Island. I dislike seeing films based on books I haven’t read, and Shutter Island looks like a must see for me.
In a week full of news of home grown terrorism in Alabama (by way of Harvard), and Texas, a week in which Tiger headed back to Buddhism (always a good call when you lose sponsorships get off track), Russia getting testy due to lack of gold, and Ron Paul winning the presidential straw poll at CPAC, I’m happy to do divert to a Saturday Old School Friday .
This week the Old School Friday Theme is, If I Could Sing, I’d Want To Sound Like.
I’d like to sound like a lot of singers, but I realize it’s unfair to choose them all, so I will choose two. I know there are better vocalists, and Brightman brings international crowds to their feet, but I am choosing skins that would fit me.
Realistically I’d be comfortable sounding like Diana Krall, a jazzy bossanovaist (not a word, I know), sitting in a smokey lounge with a large underground following. I love her.
But for aura, presence, and to bring down houses, I’d choose to be Tina Turner.
Old School Friday Themes available at Ms Marv’s.
What about you?
Peace
