For the fifteenth day of 30 Days of Me, we’re (hopefully) having some fun by putting the iPod on shuffle and itemizing the first ten songs that play. In theory, I would just fire up iTunes and play on shuffle, but iTunes is “Not Responding” right now. It likes to go on vacation without approval. Kind of a temperamental app, if you ask me. But nobody asked me, and Apple seems rather fond of it. Too bad.

Not a problem. I have an actual iPod sitting right here. First up:

1. Fool For Your Love by Mickey Gilley from 19 Hot Country Requests, Volume I, a compilation album, released in February, 1986. Not too bad.

2. Life in the Fast Lane by The Eagles from Hotel California. It’s okay.

3. Mistral Wind by Heart from their Greatest Hits album. Eh.

4. Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting by Elton John from one of his Greatest Hits albums. This one’s okay.

5. I Dream Alone by Little River Band from the Get Lucky album. I’ve always liked this one.

6. Just in Case by The Forrester Sisters from their Greatest Hits album. I like this one, but it doesn’t have any personal meaning for me (I never wanted anyone to change their mind and come back to me.).

7. Gone Crazy by Alan Jackson from High Mileage. This is not my favorite run of shuffle plays. This is a good sad song, but I’m not sad, so that might be part of it.

8. 20 Fans by Dolly Parton from the soundtrack for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

9. The Hyphen by John Wayne from America, Why I Love Her. I happen to agree that the hyphen, when referring to types of Americans is divisive. We’d to well to listen to this album periodically. “United we stand; divided we fall. We’re Americans, and that says it all.”

10. Long, Long Way from Home by Foreigner from Records. I like this one.

Overall, it’s not my favorite random shuffle meme.
