So on my iPod while I was working popped up an old song from the 70s, Romeo Void Never Say Never. And I started to laugh. I use to have to listen to this on underground radio, because it was too scandalous from mainstream radio... I might like you better if we slept, but there is something in your eyes that says never say never....
Now I find myself singing along to lyrics on the radio networks and every once in the while I stop and go, oh my did I just say that? Oh shoot, that's what those words mean. One of my favorite aha moments was with that song Butterfly about 15 years ago, and after saying the lyrics I realized what the song was about and I was driving around town on business singing about oral sex.
Culture changes quickly. I don't know if it's good or bad. I do know that the speed of things is making it harder for us to be socked and wowed. I can't imagine my grandmother driving down the street singing rap like I do or one of my favorites Indie bands to rev up for working, Kaiser Chief's I Predict a Riot. But the world is fun if you let it be and don't take yourself too seriously and I can't wait to find what out my first grandchild thinks of me...
