"I hold it true, whate'er befall;

I feel it, when I sorrow most;

'Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all."

*An excerpt from from "In Memoriam" by Alfred Lord Tennyson - 1850.


To call love a game may not give the word it's due respect and understanding. But it is true that in love, there are Winners and Losers. You play the cards that are dealt to you, to the best of your ability - and have no choice but to accept the outcome. But either way - at least you were in the Game!

The Game is introduced by Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders!

The Losers include Queen, Nude Beach, Judy Collins, Me'shell Ndegeocello, Jerry Gracia, The Beatles, Paul Revere & The Raiders, Derrick Harriott, Little Richard, Don Covay, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Tom Petty & The Heart Breakers, Nutz, Beck with The Flaming Lips and Virus!

The Winners are represented by Frank Sinatra, Gene McDaniels, Jimmy (Soul) Clark, Delaney & Bonnie, The Nazz, Badfinger, Sufjan Stevens, Wee Willie & The Winners, The Intruders, Curtis Mayfield, The Ossie All-Stars, Sammy Hagar, Circus Devils and Twin Tail!

If you are like most of us - you have experienced both.
