… what can fit on a C90 …?
By DiscoMonster
Ella Fitzgerald lost her man because she was dreaming on her chair and not scheming. Dangerous things chairs.
No such worries for Dolly Parton who has future plans. She likes to sit in a chair and enjoy a life as peaceful as a baby’s sigh. Useful things chairs.
Patti Jerome has nothing but a rocking chair. Comforting things chairs.
Regina Spektor has a folding chair to position next to you. Enticing things chairs.
Wet Leg have a chaise longue. You should be horizontal on it. Seductive things chairs.
Gwen McCrae wants to be your rocking chair. Metaphorical things chairs.
Bessie Smith has a burden too big. Only an electric chair can take her weight. Chairs help you rest peacefully.
Natural Ites see Ras Tafari sat upon his throne. A big chair high above all others lets you know where power resides. Let’s call it an ego massage chair.
Silvio Rodríguez strives forward ignoring the chairs on his journey. Sitting is akin to stagnating. Chairs induce lethargy.
Dionne Warwick has a vacant chair. It’s a catalyst for reminding her of the house that is no longer a home. Bleak are empty chairs.
The House of Love isn’t. Sitting lonely on a plastic chair you won’t get comfy. Actually, it’s a perfect seat for defining what you want and value.
Cold Gawd are anxious and losing focus on a pale silver sofa that simultaneously holds solace and misery. Versatile things chairs.
The Bevis Frond gaze on Pat on the chaise longue dreaming. Inspirational things chairs.
Dean Friedman’s rocking chair talks to him; tells him it’s going to be all right. Chairs rock.
Jill Sobule sits on a workchair 20 floors up. A perfect spot for the voyeur’s chair.
Georgia White has a lovely chair. She loves to sit on it. She’ll sell it before she gives it away. Good chairs make you feel good.
Nits miss their Bauhaus chair. Some chairs are more stylish, satisfying and expensive than others. Ask Georgia White.
Harry Beckett wants to know if you’re sitting comfortably. If you are, maybe it’s like Georgia White’s.
Bobby Bland has nothing except a poor man’s throne whatever that is. Maybe he should sell it.
Young Hoagy Carmichael used to sing jolly, upbeat versions of Rockin’ Chair, mocking the old and infirm. I don’t like those versions. When older he sang the lyrics with sympathy and understanding for those who are chair confined. Rocking backwards and forwards in a chair is sometimes as mobile as it gets.
Underworld have two chairs and a tree. I bet they’re sumptuous beach chairs next to a beautiful ocean in bright sunshine. The right chair in the right setting.

Guru’s Chair Sits:
Jenny Wilson is sitting in The Wooden Chair. She’d leave but she’s uncomfortably entwined in a bad design.
MUTSUMI chants about Chair Girl in a rhythm perfect for musical chairs.
The Micragirls do the Electric Chair Twist. Things are about to get contorted. Avoid this chair.
