There's a lot going on today. We've got Halloween coming up on Monday. We've got my 5 year blogiversary. We've got Set 92. We've got Peace Week about to begin, with Blog Blast Day exactly one week away.
Yowza!
So 5 years ago today I opened this blog. From then to now I have published 1,642 posts, been visited 104,215 times, and received 21,608 comments. I don't know whether that's good or bad. But I send my thanks to all for hanging out with me over the years.
What music makes sense for a 5 year blogiversary? I don't know. I didn't know until it was getting pretty late last night and I was staring at a blank page.
Then I had a clever idea. Well, I thought it was clever.
One, Three Dog Night
Two Divided by Love, Grass Roots
Gimme Three Steps, Lynyrd Skynyrd
Four Letter Word, David Cook
Five O'Clock World, Vogues
