Recommendations From iTunes

I don't ordinarily check out iTunes' "Recommendations for You," but I saw something that caught my eye.

20th Century Masters - The Millenium Collection - The Best of Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

I am in shock. Bachman-Turner Overdrive. It's not that I haven't heard of Bachman-Turner Overdrive. I have. Can I name any of the best of Bachman-Turner Overdrive? No. I don't recall ever having listened to Bachman-Turner Overdrive intentionally. I imagine that I heard songs by Bachman-Turner Overdrive, but I was obviously not impressed enough to pursue any kind of musical relationship with the group. I never called in to a request line and asked for anything by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. I never went to a concert. I never bought an album or single.

The only Bachman I know played second base on my college baseball team. I have watched Tina Turner and heard songs by Tina Turner; and even though she performed in overdrive on stage, I don't think she ever hooked up with a person named Bachman, except I never asked Bachman on my college baseball team if he did.

You would think that I would have heard, back in the day, from my friends, "Billy, check out the latest Bachman-Turner Overdrive. It's cool." I never did.

So, where the hell does the iTunes computer preference program come up with Bachman-Turner Overdrive as something I might enjoy?

I'm not falling for this ploy.

And a couple people have asked me how my work-out regimen is going. It is going well.

And I'm feeling somewhat better about my personal trainer.

He's not pure evil. He's a sick, masochistic fucker. That's what he is. But he will not beat me.
