Bald Bear, Bald Bear… What Do I See??
Posted on: January 5, 2011
Umm where’s your hair???
This is why I’m envious of boys…. they could just shave their heads. If I did that, Mamadukes and Big D would commit me. I mean look at Britney Spears, when she shaved her head, everyone thought she was going nuts…. and I guess that is a bad example because she was actually losing her mind, but you get what I’m saying.
Lee bear probably had a bad break up and he’s like “I’ll show this chick…. I’ll show her I’m not afraid of change and commitment… I’ll commit to changing my hair.” *shave shave*
(It’s scary how much truth I shed about Lee bear.)
Anyway, after the ‘girl in a crisis after a break-up’ came out of Lee bear, he decided to sing about love and misery…. and Tom Hanks.
I love “Love & Misery”… I just completely forget the misery part and love it. It’s like my “Earth Stood Still” before I knew that song existed. It makes me happy and puts my stomach in knots. Which sounds really weird now that I just said that out loud…… I should probably go to the doctor (with this song and “ESS” and show the doctor. I’ll let you know how that goes) Or maybe I just like those songs and that’s the physical reaction my body has to it?? I don’t know… I don’t really want to talk about this anymore. I like this song a lot and I still like it even with his lack of hair.
And now for his song about Tom Hanks.
I love “Cast Away” a lot too. And not only because I tell myself he wrote it in honor of Tom Hanks and Wilson, but because it has a pretty melody and a good story. I hope Lee D. won’t be offended that I just called his song pretty… that was very girly of me. But I guess I’ve said a lot worse that he SHOULD be offended about.
Anyway, I instantly want to be on the metaphorical ship of life.
Yes, Lee bear around the world in 80 days.

Seriously, I like these songs. Some favorite lines:
Castaway: “But you have a right to be wrong”
“Your heart to your brain to your arm to your pen”
Love and Misery:
“Sing with me, come tell your story
Love and misery and everything in between
I don’t know where to go but when I get there
I promised love that she’d be the first to see”
Nuff seriousness!
I miss the fab-u-lous hair
