Now, if he were in his 20s--even in his 30s--I could see it. But he's not. He's a tad older than that. In fact, he's 16 years older than me!
I can't say I'm a fan. I mean, they're very LOUD. Mind you, I had my years of listening to loud music and I won't go into what bands they were. (I've already told you I feel OLD.)
But there was hubby watching and enjoying the show. Not only that, but he knew every song in their medley. I only knew one of their songs, the one that has part of the song from Dirty Dancing (Time of My Life) and the only reason I'm familiar with it is because he's played the video over and over again of late.
Not only does he know all the songs, he knows all the group member's bios, too. He told me who everyone was, etc. Of course, I'm not totally ignorant. I've seen two segments on the group on CBS Sunday morning. (Including yesterday morning.)
I remember my grandfather telling my dad how much he hated my music. My dad was a musician (among his many other talents) and he was accepting of most music. I like to think I am, too . . . but of late, loud is just . . . too loud. (All those years of wearing earphones I guess.) These days I like new age music. I can have it in the background when I write. It's usually quiet and soothing.
And I'm sure a lot of people would say it's BORING.
Boring = old.
*Sigh*
How about you?
It depends on what I'm doing. New Age or Classical or instrumental jazz is great when I'm reading or writing. Cleaning house or exercising - loud and fast paced. Walking, I like a little bit of everything. Though I usually turn off rap or heavy metal.
ReplyDeleteI knew their songs (if that's the right word) from basketball games. Speaking of loud, the audio guy seems to think we need to be blasted out of our seats. Actually some of us who have been sitting in the same area for years would like to have a conversation. Oh well, I do like the catchy stuff of this group.
ReplyDeleteI'm still deaf from getting into the minivan and getting blasted out onto the sidewalk after starting it up. My husband seems to think talk radio is best heard @ volume 10. That, or he's just trying to drown out the kids...
ReplyDeleteI'm more w/you -- I kinda know their music (I like the catchy, fast paced-songs for getting me upbeat and/or having to clean) and I also catch OPRAH every once in a while. BUT, I mostly like quieter music & New Age/Soft Jazz seems to be good for slowing down/working on the computer. For the rest, I like the "Golden Oldies" stations w/music from the late 50s and 60s and some 70s (ulp, I just really dated myself, didn't I?). *sigh* I'm glad you're not so into REM/Steppenwolf/etc. any more! ::double grin::
ReplyDeleteI don't consider that boring, but maturing your taste! :-)
I don't like loud music but my taste is all over the place. I enjoy anything that has a nice beat and if it gets me to move by body, then that's a good thing, on that note, I do enjoy listening to some of the songs from the Black Eyed Peas.
ReplyDeleteBoth hubby and I thot the whole thing was usless. No real music just alot of yelling and dancing. Even my kids (mid 30's) thot it was bad. Nope, not intrested in seeing more of the BEP's.
