Popstrology for 1969
It was a year of unparalleled importance in the self-written cultural history of the baby-boom generation, but self-written histories are always to be mistrusted, particularly when written in the medium of movie and television sound tracks. While 1969 may indeed have been the year of Woodstock, it was also the Year of the Fifth Dimension, who joyously proclaimed the dawning of the age of Aquarius, but whose popstrological rise marked the dawning of the age of Lite & White. There are those who call the founding of the constellation Lite & White by a group of African Americans ironic, but be that as it may, the formation of that mighty constellation in the final year of the sixties bestows upon the Fifth Dimension generation an ability to find islands of blissful calm in times of trouble. And while the line between blissful calm and stifling staleness may be a fine one, it's a line that anyone born in a year that saw the rise of B. J. Thomas and Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head is destined to walk.
My birth song: The Archies, "Sugar, Sugar."
Now that we know what bad pop music defines me, let's find out what bad book defines me--oh, and I'll throw in an interest cloud too.
take the WHAT BAD BOOK ARE YOU test.
and go to mewing.net. not as good as reading a good book, but way better than a bad one.
Maybe a bit harsh to Tolkien, but I understand.

I got 'The Crying of Lot 49' and I've never heard of it... *wonders whether she should feel embarrassed*

I'm so unhappy with that song, though it could have been worse, I suppose.
