Besides, I’m pretty sure they don’t carry it at the Joe Bald Store. And really, I don’t think I’ve ever read an issue, even at the doctor’s office. Not being snobby because I have read some Vanity Fair articles, interviews and such. But, I’ve always just guessed that it isn’t my cup of meat, if you know what I’m saying.

The editor’s of Vanity Fair have compiled their list of the top 25 songs.
That’s it, no qualifier, top 25 songs. Now, it wouldn’t match up with my personal list of top 25 songs; if I had a list. Or, be the top 25 played songs on my iPod; if I had an iPod. But, it’s a pretty good song list.

The obvious criticism most are pointing out is the fact that there aren’t any new songs on there. The newest song on there is pretty old. I’ll say this though; if any one of those songs came on the radio, while I was driving, I would listen to it way before that Kid Rock thing or “I Kissed A Girl”.
