SCENIC WRITER’S SHACK linked up earlier this year with QUORA to bring you interesting answers to fascinating questions.
QUORA describes itself as “an on-line platform to ask questions and connect with people who contribute unique insights and quality answers.” It’s visited by 300 million people per month.
Here’s a topic I came across recently…
Homeless people commonly sleep on hard concrete sidewalks when there are grassy areas everywhere because they don’t want to get bit up by an array of bugs, ants, ticks, spiders, mice, rats, raccoons, squirrels, or similar, or risk having a snake encounter.
They also don’t want to risk sprinkler systems, fertilizer toxins, dog and cat urine, not to mention feces.
Who could ever have guessed that concrete could be so much better than grass?
Being a KISS fan comes with certain obligations. One of them was posting this recent five-star song mash-up by a guy by the name of Bill McClintock (school teacher is his day job) who specializes in producing some of the absolute best song-blends on the internet. This one was released a few months back and deservedly has clocked over a million views.
It magically combines two songs, both originally released in 1979. The first is KISS’S “I WAS MADE FOR LOVING YOU”. The second is EARTH WIND & FIRE’S “BOOGIE WONDERLAND”. See what you think. For me, this mash-up is so perfect and so mesmerizing.
What a horrible thought, homeless people unable to sleep on grass due to all the disgusting problems related to it. It makes perfect sense, though. I barely want to even sit on grass anywhere thinking about pet urine and ants and hidden poops. Uggggghh.
As for the song–I loved it! My husband hates all disco with every fiber of his soul, but there are several songs from the disco era that I’ll always love, like Last Dance, Barry’s White’s Love Them, and of course Let’s Stay Together.
This combo here is amazing. How can the beat be exactly the same, it sounds like, in both songs? Is it, or is that the magic of editing somehow? It’s great!
You are so right Stacey – the two songs have been combined seamlessly. It’s a ‘combo’ blending act of insanely-fine editing skill and the fact that in their original state the tunes at the heart of both songs have a similarity.
Ah, I agree. “Insanely-fine editing skills,” sounds about right.
Oh, and of course, I meant Barry White’s Love Theme, although “Love Them” makes sense too, lol
