Di Derre – Di Beste
Got this one at some seminar I attended at work some time ago. Many good lyrics.
Bo Kaspers – Hund
Got this one from Elin some weeks ago. Some really good songs.
Morten Abel – Some Of Us Will Make it
Since I have almost everything of what he has put his name on, I just had to buy this one as well when on sale at Platekompaniet.
Knutsen og Ludvigsen – Du Milde Mosart! – Med Arve Tellefsen

Heart – Definitive Collection
Bought for 49,50 at Platekompaniet just because I remember playing them almost 20 years ago. A bit disappointed of the cd, since it lacks some of their “newest” hits, such as Alone.
The Hooters – Hooterization: A Retrospective
Stumbled over this cd at Platekompaniet. Just had to buy it because I remember playing their songs a lot way back, such as Satellite, 500 Miles and Karla With A K. And by the way, “hooter” when it comes to “The Hooters” is Jamaican slang for the harmonica-keyboard hybrid.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – “Kicking against the pricks”
Yet another Cave cd in my collection. I truly enjoy some of the lyrics in his songs. Looking forward to getting this cd to know…but fearing that the early stuff might be somewhat strange 🙂
Registered for DSSP

The meaning of songs
Remember back in the 80’s when I was just a little boy the song Born In The USA by Bruce Springsteen was really cool. Little did I understand of the meaning of the song, due to my age and most of all the lack of knowledge for the language. Later I have realized that the song is not patriotic, it is a criticism of the US and how they treated their Vietnam war veterans.
So, I really wonder what was Ronald Reagans excuse when he selected the song as his theme song during the election:
Lyrically, the song deals with the effects of the Vietnam War on Americans, although it has sometimes been misinterpreted as purely patriotic and jingoistic, notably by President Ronald Reagan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_in_the_U.S.A._(song)
I guess for him personally the Alzheimer’s disease and a wife who I have heard had a tendency to turn to the stars for advice when it came to whatever she needed to do…
