Pink House

Life fills us with transformations. Some are good and welcomed, but some, well... 

REAL birds can live in pink houses. I think it's the first time I've ever seen a pink birdhouse. It's clean and ready for occupancy this weekend!

"Pink Houses" by John Mellencamp. Talk about changes. He started out using the stage name Johnny Cougar, then to more sophisticated John Cougar. In the 1980s, he settled on John Cougar Mellencamp and soon after, until the present, to his given name of John Mellencamp. Wow! Talk about C-C-C-Changes! Love his writing. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked "Pink Houses" #439 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of all time. Wow again! He was inspired by a scene on the Interstate, heading back home to Bloomington, Indiana. Know that Interstate well. I've got connections.
Clever song.
Clever guy.
Clever pink house.

  4. A bird might be able to put up with a pink house. Remember most of them spend their winters in Florida where there's lots of pink houses. Always liked John Mellencamp's music.

  5. I don't know the song and there's nothing inherently wrong with a pink birdhouse, but I can't image a self-respecting cardinal moving in! :)

  7. I don't know the song but will take a listen. If there were Barbie Birds, this would be their home.
