Ok Charlie Brown,

So what you are arguing is that it is wong to pay for the fun of of others, even when you know that event goes against your own likes?


I didn't pay for Bob's friend, John's friend, my friend, just to stroke my own ego. 

I paid for John's trip because all three of us, Bob, John and I had been friends since the early 2000s.  Nothing more. I didn't gain profits for paying for John's trip. I paid for it because he and I were a part of our late friend's Bob's life. NOTHING MORE.


It was hell for me on my second trip, not being a fan of road trips regardless of musical tastes, to sit in the back of a car for 6 days. It was also hell for me to listen to mostly country music the entire time. I didn't do that because I love country music. I did it because I love my best friend John who loves country music, and because our late friend Bob, loved both of us.

I still had a great time, despite the inequity in music tastes. I was outnumbered in the car ride for sure. But you wont get John, the friend I payed for to argue it was selfish on my part.

Take a breath Brian.

The question was - what does a connection between Blondie and Johnny Cash have to do with your trip to Australia?

I don't care who paid for what or what you ate or what you listened to in the car...unless you heard a Blondie/Cash duet on the radio while in Australia, on the trip you paid for, and that's the connection.

I'm still working on the 'ok to vilify a certain type of music' comment.

Blondie did a cover of "Ring Of Fire" by Johnny Cash.

I had my friend John try to download "Sunday Girl", while on my Australia road trip. but only came up with the international version which was not all english. 

John, my friend whom I took on my second trip to Australia, found out later that Blondie did a cover of "Ring Of Fire" by Johnny Cash, and pointed that out to me after the fact just to rub it in because he is a huge country music fan.

My best friend John(AKA Hillbilly Atheist) inside and outside Australia has found Metallica, ABBA and the Redskins fight song on Banjo. Things that existed even before I met him.

The only saving grace for me, is that Blondie also did a cover of Buddy Holly "I'm going to love you too"

I knew there had to be a link in your brain somewhere.

This is not Blondie's best work...in fact, I can't imagine it being worse.

Link doesn't want to work for me but it's out there on YouTube and it's pretty damn bad.

Youtube sucks. I gave you what I could find at the moment.

Parallel Lines is the song this is off of.

Parallel Lines is Blondie's best album. It gave us "One Way Or Another",  " 11:59" and "Heart Of Glass". And "I'm Gonna Love You Too". 

But out of all that, this is my absolute favorite Blondie song EVER off that same album.

Now lets try to wrap you head around this.

"Johnny Cash"

"Debra Harry/Blondie"

Why is it a 80s punk band would point to a prior country music star when they don't have anything in common?

Mind you, I am no fan of country music. But my best friend today, who is, I paid for a trip to Australia.

Now, when you can spend days and days being the third wheel in a road trip, hating country music, like I did, and not kill anyone, after being stuck in the back of a car for days and days with country music fans, please lecture me.
