I enjoyed the intro of these two tunes. Great job coming up with these picks for your theme!<br /><br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2017/04/aprila2z-art-sketching-through-the-alphabet-x/" rel="nofollow">Art Sketching Through the Alphabet "X" (X-ray & Xena)</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-21928525812053278382017-04-30T10:04:22.503-04:002017-04-30T10:04:22.503-04:00Neat!Neat!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000518512016364412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-81549803307024189832017-04-29T11:21:27.049-04:002017-04-29T11:21:27.049-04:00LOL Didn't you just say you hadn't heard &...LOL Didn't you just say you hadn't heard 'War' before?

Can't stand that one! LOL This Blondie song was new to me. It reminds me of something The Ronettes might have done in the early '60s. Such a cool retro vibe! Rush's 'Xanadu' is at least somewhat interesting, but it goes on too long. Two songs for 'X'. That's quite a feat! I had trouble coming up with one (other than Xanadu, that is). Almost done! Yay! ☺<br /><br />Debbie D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153118405565035071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-44217558209642303242017-04-28T15:10:58.442-04:002017-04-28T15:10:58.442-04:00Hey there Michele!

I do really like Rush's Xanadu, one of the few Rush songs that I like. Rush is one of those bands that you either like or you don't. I only like some. I saw Rush in concert back in the 70s but I can't remember whether it was a Farewell to Kings tour or a 2112 one. They are indeed cerebral and I've always found them to be more tolerable with a little weed... :)<br /><br />I never heard that Blondie song.
