A dinner that was passed down by grandmother, grandma would set the plates and feed us as kids with her own hands!

      I can tell you that if I was Scotty I wouldn’t be tipping my hat to him. I would be very upset at him for getting us all banned from the pool, treating me badly, and the lies he told about Mr. Mertle to keep me from going to him to get my stepdad’s ball back. I would probably also tell his parents what he did and hopefully he would be punished to learn a lesson.

    I knew that you felt it too, by the look in your eyes
    Sweeter than wine
    Softer than the summer night
    Everything I want, I have
    Whenever I hold you tight
    This magic moment while your lips are close to mine
    Will last forever, forever till the end of time

      I don't fully agree with you. Even though now days music is trash, you still have to give credit to them for coming up with something with the beat. As for machines, it isn't the machines that make the music, people need talent to make music on software, such as music theory. I do think voice alterations suck, but the only thing I disagree with is the machines, 1950-1990 is the best years to me, but you still need to realize that people need talent to make music (still)
