One time in a small group, a Bible study no less, and the leader asked all of us 'ladies' to share something about ourselves that others might not know. People were sharing stuff like how much they weighed, how much caffeine they consumed, and distaste for domestic duties. One other person and I were renegades and took a chance on being completely honest. I was first and I told everyone that they may not realize that I loved rock music. And I listened to it loud in the car whether my kids were there or not. Your basic great guitar, loud beat, kick ass rock and roll. [I didn't say 'ass' to the group of ladies.]
That said, you have to know that Jay and I have been to some great concerts. Aerosmith. ZZ Top, REO Speedwagon, Styx. Back in the day I even went to Black Sabbath and Van Halen. Along with Ted Nugent. Just to name a few... I would like to list them all here, but I don't know what you would think.
My ultimate group is Lynyrd Skynyrd. I love most of their songs except 'Freebird.' (I know, everyone else looooves Freebird, but I think only the guitar and piano are worth listening to on that one.) I like their sound and their instrumentals. I like it all. Every person should start their day listening to 'Sweet Home Alabama.' You can imagine my delight when in the summer of 2011 I finally got to hear the youngest VanZant and Ricky Metlock sing at the Zoo Amphitheater. Oh my stars. They were fabulous. And my joy is completely obvious in the photo our DINK concert neighbors took of us just before the drunk senior citizen fell on us all.
Does it really matter what we think? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI had to ask because I am trying really hard not to care what other people think.
