Musings of a Curmudgeonly Comics Fan

As you guys probably know, I haven't been buying comics regularly for, oh, coming on to three years now. Not that I don't still keep in touch with what's going on - I buy the odd trade paperback, the odd reprint, and every week or couple of weeks I mosey down to the ol' Comics Mart and scan over the shelf, see what's happening these days with the X-Men, or Spider-Man, or pick up stuff like Infinite Crisis and start going, "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?"

10 Lines #7

I confess that I usually fudge these things - they're not random, they are chosen so that they are not too hard to guess. So this time, let's do the random thing, and see if that helps or hinders at all.

Ten first lines from my iTunes playlist right now. Guess the songs and bonus points for the artist/version. No Googling.

1. "Bob Roebuck is my sweetheart's name, he's off to the wars and gone..."

2. "When she was three, her Barbies always did it on the first date..."

3. "Seaside, whenever you stroll along with me..."

4. "Which side are you on? It don't really matter, if you're not siding with me..."

5. "Down in the workshop, all the elves were making toys..."

6. "In the cool of the evening when everything is getting kind of groovy..."

7. "Something isn't right - I don't know how I know..."

8. "You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street..."

9. "Is this the little girl I carried?"

10. "If your love were taken from me, every color would be black and white..."
