Last night just for a change while Emily was doing her homework, we decided to watch a program which showcased 80’s videos. It started good…with ELO’s Mr. Blue Sky (which is one of Emily’s favorite songs-altho the vintage Jeff Lynn sent her for a loop) but then it got really good-with “Once in a Lifetime” David Byrne and his “same as it ever was” seizure dancing…but the cherry on the top was this:
She actually liked David Bowie and thought the drag reveal at the end was cool, but passed on Heart’s “These Dreams” which I was proud of her for cause that song is a stinker. After the Cyndi Lauper’s She Bop video (which she thought the tune was catchy…but did not figure out the lyrics…thats another talk) She said “Mommy, what was up with these people? Is this really how your generation’s music was? These people are freaks!” To which I just said two words-Justin Bieber. “Ahh…touche Mommy…”
I must be doing something right.
ps-Happy Birthday Will ;p
