MORE COFFEE TALK

I drink Maxwell House coffee.
Always have and always will.
I come from a long line of Maxwell House coffee drinkers both Instant and Brewed.
*ENTER KRAFT BIG WIGS TO GIVE US A MAXWELL HOUSE COMMERCIAL.*
Remember this Maxwell House AD?
80's band "Madness" and their song "Our House" reached number 5 in the UK music charts and number 7 in the US charts.
I had this album because my mom bought it for me.
One day in the early 80's, my mom came home with a bag full of newly released albums for me.
In the bag were albums by Madness, The Eurythmics and General Public.
I asked my mom how she knew the names of these NEW groups because the songs were so new, even I didn't know who sang them.
Here's what my mom said (and this is SO excellent):
"I went to the record store and sang the songs to the sales guy."
My mom has never been able to carry a note, not even a hint of one but after the success of this experience she believed she was Barbara Streisand.
I am the physical clone of my mother so I steered clear of that record store for the rest of my teenage existence.
I love my mom :)
