Katie1723:

At least I got a good laugh reading the responses. I don’t recognize most of them but that’s ok. As I am one of the “older” folks, give me some “Chicago”…“Neil Diamond”…Cat Stevens…John Denver and ok, I’ll admit to…Barry Manilow.

Hey, some of us in the “younger” crowd like Barry Manilow. Ok, it could be I am the only one of the “younger” crowd, but who cares? Not my fav, but he’s still good.

My first concert ever was a Manilow concert…way back in 1975 when he was just starting out. And to another poster “CollegeCatholic”…my then 24 y/o daughter took me her then 49 y/o mother to a Neil Diamond concert back in '02. Ain’t life grand??

Below is a link to pro-abortion bands and solo artists. If you’d prefer to keep your moral blinders on, it’s best not to visit this site. However, if moral integrity is important to you, and you take your Catholic faith seriously, it’s worth reading. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be needing a heavy duty shredder. Or, wear safety glasses, and you can simply snap the CD’s and LP’s. Tapes are the easiest to destroy of physical media, and, of course, MP3s only require use of the delete button.

Destroying this stuff was painful. But, not nearly so painful as what 1.3 million+ babies endure each year.

There is also a pro-life page on the site, and a lot of additional pro-life information. The organization, Rock for Life, is an affiliate of American Life League, probably the premier pro-life organization.

Well, not sure if he has a band or orchestra, but Nobou Uematsu. He’s Japanese, and does music for many of the Final Fantasy games. Gotta love that.

Besides him, I have a bunch of other songs from various artists. But thats about it.
