I would like to share what is wrong with the music our young people play today. The answer is as simple as, you know, "the nose on your face". It is so plain that it will make perfect common sense once I explain it below. The main issue with music today is that it is too loud and the words don't make any sense. When you compare music to today to that of the past it is obvious there is a problem.
Where are the days when you could sit down and hear a love song about your girl "Boney Maroney" who's as skinny as a stick of macaroni or your girl named "Rama-lama-lama, lama-lama-ding-dong" who means everything to you?
You remember when music really asked the hard questions like "Who put the bomp in the bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp? or know that what sets our hearts aglow is the "boogity, boogity, boogity, shoo" and how it happens every time my baby and I dance to the "dip da dip da dip"?
Oh and what deep meaning when we hear that "a-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom" as we "Tutti Fruitti" or "Wooley Bully". Yes and how life could be a dream "sh-boom sh-boom ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da sh-boom" with my baby "beep bop a lula" in the red blue jeans.
And when we didn't know what to say to our girl the doctor coached us with "Oooo eee oooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang, Oooo eee oooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bang bang" knowing "hoop dee doo, hoop de doo" when we heard a Polka our troubles were through.
Generations are different. We all have our likes and dislikes. Granted I don't like the songs with off color or suggestive lyrics. Then again as a teen I remember having "Louie Louie" and "House of the Rising Sun" banned from our school dances.
In order for generations to get along and solve our problems it's important that we try to understand each other. No generation is any better than any other. We all have something to offer. The older generations need to listen to the younger and the younger needs to listen to the older. It's a two way street to a better world.
Now I'll still have a button on my XM radio for the 50's music and one for the 60's, but I expect that half-time at the super bowl will be music for a much younger generation. You know what? That's okay. It's okay to be different with different likes and dislikes. It's okay if you like blue and I like maroon. It's okay if you like chocolate and I like vanilla. It's okay if I wear a tie to church and you don't It's okay to be different.
The main thing is that we learn to respect each other for who we are and "hot diggity dog diggity" and "tweedlee dee" we'll be able to "ba-bah-ba-ba-bah, ba-ba-bah-bah-bah" in harmony.
