Two things from my son

Last night my son told me about two things I didn't know. One was a song that I never heard of that he said was really good and I needed to listen to it. So of course I had to listen to it. He stayed it and I started laughing so much, it is not typical of the type of music we listen to. As I sat there listening to it, I was like it's actually kind of a catchy tune. It did make me laugh. Of course then I had to do a little research on the song and found that it was released in 1971 and it went to number 1 on billboard hot 100 singles in December of 1971 and January of 1972. It also went to number 1 in Canada and Australia and number 4 on the UK singles chart. Take a listen and see what you think about it. He also asked if I ever seen the show Atypical. He said it was pretty good. It's a comedy drama about an 18 year old boy who is on the autistic spectrum who is trying to find his place in the world and also trying to date. I don't know who realistic it might be as I don't know of anyone who is autistic but it is entertaining and comical and a bit emotional too. I would say if you have not seen this show it is worth watching. I watched it last night on Netflix and there are 3 seasons on there right now. Again, not sure how realistic it is to someone with autism but it is entertaining and worth a watch. I know it did make me want to learn more about this and I will be doing some research to learn more. Hope you all enjoy your day.

@Bensen32 As a matter of fact I finished Season 3 of Atypical yesterday. I like that show. Yes, we finally got season 3 here in Jerusalem and I have not watched it in ages so started from the beginning. I hope they will have more seasons so can watch it.

@Bensen32 I really like that show and hope they will have many more seasons but when they come here it is a long time and so to refresh my mind I have to start at the beginning.

A perky melody and descriptive narration of outpouring of feelings for lyrics. Good music. Stories in a song can really fill the heart. Love it.

I can't believe over the years that I have never heard this song somewhere. It's is worth watching at least the first 5 episodes I have seen were worth watching.

It's a good show and there are 3 seasons on Netflix so that should take a little time to watch it.

Melanie was a great favourite in our family. Our little son loved Alexander Beetle.

yes, they do. My son and I have a lot of the same taste in music and TV/movies so he is usually good about his suggestions.
