50 Something or Other (subtitle Maybe the Problem Really Is All Inside Your Head)

All this 50 Shades of Gray movie talk made me think of the “50 Ways” songs.  (Be sure to check out the cat at the 2:15 mark in this Train song/video.  Also, the kid playing soccer at the end gives new meaning to the soccer term “header:”)

Can’t say that any of the above has ever happened to me at the Callaway Food Lion.  

And of course Paul Simon had his “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,” but check out this Eminem twist/addition.  Warning:  it is X-rated and you will never listen to Paul Simon’s version the same way again (click here.)  

And speaking of Paul, since we’re doing 50-Shades-abuse-stuff, he and wife Edie had their Ray Rice and his wife Janay moment (click here) a few months ago when both were arrested on domestic violence charges.  (You know, Edie’s most famous song did have that refrain “Choke me in the shallow waters.”)  However, unlike Ray’s two game suspension hoopla, the Simons’ incident seems to have been sort of quietly dropped (click here) and gone away. 

Always liked Edie’s stuff though, particularly this one which, while lacking a lady-eating-lion in it, does have Barry White (2:00.)
