Casey's piece inspired me last week.  So, as of this moment, I am done being ashamed of the random, obscure and cheesy stuff that fills my Ipod (there's a picture of lil' Pinkie Tuscadero right there!)  I'm going to celebrate it right here for all of you to read.  I know that after reading, at least one of you may want to disavow any knowledge of my existence, and may delete me as a friend on Facebook, because a lot of this stuff is from way back in the 20th Century, but I'll just have to live with it.  I am embracing the far reaching musical tastes that make me a unique and fascinating human being!

The funniest thing is, when I tried to hit shuffle and see what wacky stuff came up, almost every selection was at least moderately to extremely cool--things like Elvis Costello, John Legend, Lenny Kravitz, XTC, Stevie Wonder, Fall Out Boy, Teddy Geiger, Indigo Girls (holy crap, is there a lot of Indigo Girls!)  So, see?  A lot of the 1024 songs currently in my mini are socially acceptable.  Ultimately, I thought it might be easier to just fess up and shove those musical skeletons out of the Ipod and get it over with.

It was recently brought to my attention that I like "bad music." Huh? Are you kidding? When I walk the harsh streets of Chicago, I hear True by Spandau Ballet, I walk in time with Gangsta's Paradise by the legendary Coolio, and I have to refrain from singing along to Everybody Wants You by Billy Squier. What the hell are you other people listening to? Whatever it is, I'm probably not interested.
 
I 'd be willing to be that I am the only person my age that would be super jazzed to attend a Rush concert. Seriously, though, I would go in a heartbeat with bells on...and copious amounts of denim. Don't get me wrong Mama Cass (That's my iPod's name) is chock full o' goodness from today. I listened to the Shins when folks freaked out about them a few years ago. But I can't help it that my favorite songs of all time are the following: Watching the Wheels and Just Like Starting Over by John Lennon, Dancing With Myself by Billy Idol, and Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House. This is just how I roll.
