Wednesday, November 4, 2009 So, the other day my husband came back from criminal court in Gallatin.
“You are not going to believe it”, he said “someone stole my I-pod right out of my briefcase!”
I thought to myself, – – what kind of &#%$ steals while IN criminal court.
Then I thought – WOW – that &^$#@ must have laughed his *&^$# off when he heard the music selection on that I-pod.
Guess the joke was on him…unless, of course, the little thug was a Neal Diamond fan!
To say, that my husband and I are musically challenged – is an understatement. One reason, I married my husband is that he saw nothing wrong with my love of Barry Manilow, Neil Sedaka and show tunes – in fact he encouraged it.
Many a time when friends peruse our music selections – we have to cry out – “We are not ashamed!”
Sure you can be cool and like Cold Play and the Black Eyed Peas but it takes real courage to stand in line (without sunglasses and a wig) to buy tickets to John Tesh.
I wasn’t always like this. No in my heyday – I loved the Cure and the Smithereenes. But the truth is, when Copacabana or Mandy would come on the radio, something in me would stir!
At a certain point in my life I decided TO EMBRACE IT and haven’t looked back since.
So you can just imagine my outrage – that we were now the victims of crime. I had spent countless hours downloading those hard to find “classics” and in one life changing moment it was all snatched away. (You just never think its going to happen to you!)
That evening as I expressed my indignation to Becky, I was a little taken aback, when she took up for the little punk.
“Are you kidding me, you downloaded Hall & Oats’ Greatest Hits? I’m wondering who the real victim was – Brody or the thief!”
Note to self – return Becky’s Christmas present – Clay Aiken Merry Christmas With Love CD. Apparently, Becky has no taste in music. Find out if Van Halen has a Christmas album – probably more to her liking.
