Talk about Pop Musik

Generally speaking I like all kinds of music. Certainly I enjoy some genres more than others, but usually I can find something that I like in any style of music.  For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed listening to music. Music soothes my soul, and speaks to my many moods.  Many who know me know that I grew up listening to 80s metal/hard rock. I still enjoy listening to these same groups, but you would be in error to label me a metal-head.  I tend to try and avoid labels of any kind as I believe it is a mistake to try and force people into a box. but that may be another discussion.

As I sit here in the office with very little to do (i have completed the daily crossword, and have increased my knowledge of the world by reading Yahoo news) I have become aware of the fact that we listen to a local station that plays pop music.

you are welcome for getting that little gem stuck in your head.

I will admit that I do like quite a number of the numbers played on this station. (like how i demonstrated why our language is so hard to learn?)  However, I have discovered hell. Just how many times in one day can a person listen to "moves like jagger" before they lose all sense of self? or want to go and make sure jagger can no longer move at all so Maroon 5 will stop singing about it. (fyi-probably my least favorite song on the planet).  I can guarantee you that Sisyphus may have had to push that boulder up a hill all day long just to have it fall back to the bottom of the hill, but that is not what got to him. Not even close. Sisyphus would have gladly pushed multiple boulders up that hill if only Zeus would stop playing Gotye's "someone that i used to know" over and over and over and over...well you get the point.

As awful as it is to hear the same songs all day long, and quite frankly i could probably set my watch by the times that said songs are played each day, I have learned at least one valuable lesson.  NEVER, EVER, NEVER, date Taylor Swift.  I don't care if she is the last woman on Earth, and you are the last man on Earth. Not even if she is the apple of your eye. Especially not if you have completely lost your mind because you made the mistake of going to work with Sisyphus and you also had to hear Gotye 5000 times in a row.  Dating her will start off great.  You will have the time of your life as you navigate your way through the wonderful world of fame and fortune, but just know that you are going to wake up one day, turn on your radio, which for some reason is no longer set to Hair Nation on sirius/xm, and find that a song has been written about you.  You will learn how awful of a person you are, and how you have ruined Taylor Swift's life.  Quite a burden to carry for dinner and a movie. (you probably made the mistake of taking her to see the Red Dawn remake.)  The worst part is that the entire world is going to hear that song about a million times in the first week alone; Taylor Swift will win some lame award for the song, and you, sir, fine upstanding citizen of our planet, you will be lucky to ever date again.

Fortunately, we are blessed with "intelligence for your life" form John Tesh.  On second thought, I have no clue what that means. Well, I have to go and re-implant my brain.  Off to the car where i can cleanse my brain with some Led Zeppelin. Now there is some intelligence for your life. Classic.
