So here's the question: If you lived in a society where arranged marriages were a la mode, whom would you beg your parents to set you up with? Why?My Answer
It's seems kind of serendipitous that yesterday, the 9th, was the 50th anniversary of The Beatles performing on the Ed Sullivan Show. I was a sniveling 13 year old... and I didn't even like The Beatles. I'd been weaned on jazz, big band and classical music. What was that stuff they were playing?
Still, even though I didn't like their music (that came several years later, now I'm a die-hard fan) George was always my favorite. I loved his wit, musicianship, and his spirituality.
So, if I lived in a society where my parents arranged my marriage, I'd beg, plead, grovel and promise them anything if they'd just hook me up George.
Here's, Run of the Mill, one of my favorite songs... there are so many. :)
