Musical Astrology (3/24/71)

LOCATION: Anywhere , Anywhere

YEAR: 2008

TAGS: Lyrics, America, Horses, Astrology

PUBLISHED: March 24, 2008

OK, music fans, you know the drill. I shall divine your entire personality simply by gazing into the lyrics of the song that was number one on the charts on the day you were born. Today's musical astrology lesson is for those who were born on March 24, 1971. The song that was number one that day: "A Horse With No Name" by America. And now, your reading:

You are an insufferably boring person who feels the need to verbalize every single item that you see ("There were plants and birds and rocks and things"). You are also prone to horrible grammar ("ain't no one for to give you no pain"-I dare someone to parse that sentence.) Your bizarre affinity for desert life has led you to seek outa homeon the surface of the sun, or Arizona, whichever is more feasible. Anyway, all of this blistering weather has done great damage to your mental faculties, leading to ridiculously obvious proclamations ("The heat was hot"-Duh!)

Your questing soul can find no comfortfrom other people ("the humans will give no love"),which causesyou to seek out the friendship of a good horse instead. However,even your four-legged friendsall eventaully run away as well, most likely because they're frustrated at being contantly called "Horse", instead of something catchier like "Silver" or "Secretariat" or "Mr. Skinny-Legs".

Or I could be wrong. Tune in next week.
