I know "I Love How You Love me" from The Lettermen in the 1960s. I think, after all, I should look for it and post it here if it exists on You Tube. I LOVE that you liked what you read in this post--I have been devilishly curious, and now I am happy.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-65339455904325242102012-07-21T19:32:37.584-04:002012-07-21T19:32:37.584-04:00First of all, it is only fitting that someone incl...First of all, it is only fitting that someone include this song with their offering for my challenge. I'm glad that you did!<br /><br />I love the idea of the masks and the fulminating over dress and music when that's not the real evil at all. A little truth mixed with a big lie, that's the recipe. <br /><br />I also love the sly fitting in of the line from "To The Virgins, To Make Much Of Time". Lastly, I wonder if you were intentionally echoing the innocent old pop song in the "love how you love me" lines? I expect you were, and the way it's used makes them chilling. Altogether beautifully done, Susan. Thank so much for gracing FBF with this.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-92206685540402781762012-07-21T13:39:11.252-04:002012-07-21T13:39:11.252-04:00Happiness!Happiness!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-42326091772691126602012-07-21T11:28:13.665-04:002012-07-21T11:28:13.665-04:00yes, yes! and i love "the language of echo.&q...yes, yes! and i love "the language of echo."Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027954226798117530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-31565233098181265172012-07-21T08:24:52.929-04:002012-07-21T08:24:52.929-04:00Thanks.

It might help to see this all as one voice bragging. <br /><br />But why shouldn't pure evil confuse us?

Look at Dracula and Van Helsing! I thought more of gloating and glee than debate while I was writing this though. My folks also saw the Stones as "Devil's music" but I think that was because the sound kept them from hearing the words to what is a actually a protest song, and definitely a warning. It's one of the few Stones songs I truly like.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-39430768246924620882012-07-20T23:23:16.529-04:002012-07-20T23:23:16.529-04:00I made a few tiny little alterations which may mak...I made a few tiny little alterations which may make it run a little more smoothly.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-25403273529483544382012-07-20T23:22:22.400-04:002012-07-20T23:22:22.400-04:00I really like this:

In the public schools teachers are asked to make so many concessions I sometimes felt that we were teaching kids that everything is ok if you can get away with it. I'm glad the repetition works, I wanted it to sound slimy and Vampire-like, as in Dracula with the ladies. The devil is always so hungry! <br /><br />About the voices, Brian, thanks for telling me what you think. I see what you are saying. I think I might try blending the lines in with the same size and font.
