My favorite band is ACE and the golden voice of Paul Carrack. How long has this been going on has nothing to do with what you think it does.
ReplyDeleteActually, that's a great question because much can be interpreted from one's choice of band. 17 Meters implies that you're somewhat non-conformist and creative, but not so given to flights of fancy as those who prefer 12 meters.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she would appreciate this.
