I'll Never Be Your Maggie May

You know what they say: when the cat's away, the mouse listens to all the music that drives her husband bat shit crazy. {This is why I advise my students not to try to use English idioms unless they are sure they know them - they are hard enough for us native speakers to use correctly.}
While Eduardo has been gone this week I have listened to Suzanne Vega's Retrospective {basically a "Greatest Hits" album} probably 20 times. If I would have been given the job of picking the 21 songs, my list would have been pretty darn close to the ones that are on the album .
