Nina Simone did a cover version.

Moejoe being into music should have got it (unless not a Brit)

But! did anybody really go there?

He recorded many more songs, as well as becoming a writer and producer for various other musical artists. He has stated in interviews that he has made sales of 40 million, but the details of this success are difficult to establish. [2][3]

Chicago for the summer!! I havenʻt seen family in a while and thatʻs my main focus right now. Who wants to bankroll me and a few kids the flights over? They seem to be running around 800-1200 round trip.

Gracie, I would if I could!! I'm with you on going to Chicago in the summer, especially during Taste of Chicago. It's crowded and noisy and usually hotter then HE11 but the food is phenomenal.

My top destinations (thanks to a little help from cassidym

):

England
France (Paris in particular)
Las Vegas (because I am going there in January for the CES and want to be able to check something off my list for once.)

Well, just one of the most popular conspiracy theories in modern times that questions if we really ever DID land on the moon at all, or if Nasa just faked it as in "Capricorn One"

kindlekitten · 11-23-2009, 09:41 AM

ahhhh! ok. I feel sorry for folks who hang their hats on such nonsense

What about the rumors that an honest lawyer had been sighted?

I'd believe that a trip to the moon had been made over that.....

honest lawyer? Hey, it was conspiracy theories, not conspracy impossibilities.

zelda_pinwheel · 11-23-2009, 10:00 AM

hm, i think my list would be probably too long to post here... but here are a few i can think of. this list obviously presupposes that we have finally managed to come up with some form of instantaneous téléportation device, because i don't want to spent several days on end in various airports / planes. also it presupposes i have unlimited financial ressources and time.

- japan
- iceland
- return to italy, specifically florence, but i'd love to travel around the country
- barcelona
- scotland, just to listen to the accent and hopefully hear someone say "yon".
- sweden (slite is there !)
- australia (marc is there !)
- england (a whole bunch of llounge llamas are there !)
- wales (patricia is there !)
- catire-land (cake !!!)
- back to canada as well (my cousins are there, and also several other mr members i'd love to meet !)
- germany (ravenne !!!)
