Miss Conduct in "Improper Bostonian"

Posted by Robin Abrahams October 9, 2009 06:12 AM

If you get a chance, pick up the October 7-20 issue of "Improper Bostonian" (the music issue). They asked me to psychoanalyze the lyrics of four songs by Boston bands (Aerosmith's "Cryin'," New Kids on the Block's "You Got It," Boston's "More than a Feeling," and The Cars' "My Best Friend's Girl"). A four-page layout with hilarious graphics. I'm really delighted with this one.

  1. That was you? I didn't even read the author name. It was a very funny piece and a good read. Saved it to share with hubby. Kudos!

  1. I loved that piece. I read the Improper Bostonian regularly and I greatly enjoyed your contribution to the music issue.

    Great insight.

    Got any ideas on the meaning behind MMMBop?
