Friday Five time
An easy blog topic for a busy Friday, accomplished with the help of three compadres (the married couple CF and JF, and fellow co-worker MHS) over lunch at my favorite Chinese place.

1. Name one song you hate to admit you like.
CF: "That Cheryl Crow and Kid Rock Song" (something about putting a picture away).
JF: "Anything by Prince."
MHS: "A Backstreet Boys Song but I can't remember what it's called." (She later remembered. It's, "I Want It That Way.")
AC (me): "Can't Touch This," by MC Hammer.

2. Name two songs that always make you cry.
CF: "Last Kiss," by Pearl Jam, and "a Goo Goo Dolls song from 'City of Angels'." (We're not very good at remembering the details.)
JF: Is too much of a man to get teary-eyed by a song, but two that make him "feel emotional and introspective" are" "Leader of the Band," by Dan Fogelberg, and "Silver Thunderbird," by Mark Cohn.
MHS: "Tears in Heaven," by Eric Clapton; "Last Kiss," by Pearl Jam.
