But the Music do....
The fabulous and unprecedented Jennifer offered to help me add music to my blog! I am so excited. I have so many musical selections that I would love include to represent ME that I hardly know where to begin!
Let's see....My Mariachi music. Don't think Mexican restaurant, think Antonio Bandares in Desperado.
And then there is my kick butt Celtic Music. My fabulous Ashley MsIssac and his screaming fiddle with the unbelievable bass and drums...
I can not forget to include my beloved Buena Vista Social Club with its smooth tones and silky voices....
What about my absolute favorite Irish band The Saw Doctors. But which song? The lovely and haunting Clare island? The rollicking HAY WRAP? Or the quintessential N-17?
I can't decide. I can't just limit it to one. One song does not, could not define me, my blog or which way the wind is blowing on any particular day!
I no longer have a teenage living under my roof to keep me informed on what's hot and what's not. She is no longer around to roll her eyes at me, teach me the latest dance moves, or tell me, "For God's sake do not leave the house wearing that!!!". We all need a Cool Monitor to keep us abreast of the latest.
This is why I am about 100 years behind everything that is going on in the "Cool Side" of the life. I have to face it, I have climbed the mountain and reached the crest of Coolness. I am presently tumbling down the other side, falling faster and faster with each passing day. Thankfully, Joe has made/is making the climb a lot slower and able to keep some semblance of coolness about him. He tells things now, even though I am suspicious, he is usually right.
I bring this all up because I was searching around on the vehicle radio the other day and heard the most fabulous heavy metal rock and roll head banging song ever! I rushed into the house shouting out the song's name . Joe knew immediately what I was talking about (a lot to be said for being with someone for years and years, you can get away with being crazy around them, because they understand totally). He gave me the name of the band and offered...(clued me in)....that it had a pretty good musical video too.
I found it on line.
It was depraved. It was revolting and disgusting. Totally sick.
I loved it.
I now have the CD. Whenever I dare, I push it in and turn it up. I can not help myself from grooving to the music . My heads moves from side to side, back and forth, front to back, gyrating. I let my hair fly. I close my eyes. My shoulders move. My butt dances on the seat. I look like I am being hit with an electric jolt. I can't help it, the music gets to me in some deep deep place.
As I was rocking away this morning at the worlds longest stop light, I suddenly wondered if one of my co-workers, bosses, or customers could be watching me from one of the surrounding cars?!!! I stopped for a beat. "Oh hell with it", I began to jerk and gyrate around again.
If Bridget had been with me she would have been totally mortified.
I wonder if I asked Jennifer to load that baby up.......?

I am also hopelessly out of it when it comes to what's "cool" on the music scene these days. Unfortunately, I have progressed so far beyond cool, that I don't like most of what's out there...
I' content to roll down the windows and crank up some of my favorite oldies, like "Edge of Seventeen" or "Stairway to Heaven." I'm not self-conscious about looking my age any more.
Fabulous. I like that. ::blow drying nails::
But I do not do depravity. I do the Partridge Family. :bobbing head and pointing freshly-dry nailed finger::
I think I love you... So totally cool. No matter what any under-40 person says.
I'm sorta current...but I'm not right on top of things in the music world like I used to be. I just know what I like when I hear it. Korn is cool. I just feel a little, er, scandalous listening it. 39 years old. I'm someone's mother! Heh.
