I usually have Directv on the swing/big band music channel for Mom during the day. She maintains she can't hear it, so today I decided to flip it over to classic rock.

I found myself singing along to America's "Horse With No Name" when I realized the song has some of the dumbest lyrics ever written.

Metallica came on, which stopped me in my tracks. Metallica counts as classic? Then I listened to which song it was, thought back to when it came out and ... huh ... over 20 years ago. Yeah, it counts.

While pressing seams open, "In A Gadda Da Vida" came on and I was singing along highly amused cuz my mom is sitting in the other room with this blasting. It seemed kinda wrong, yet made me grin.

I suffered through Credence, but when Hendrix came on I flipped the channel back to swing/big band. It's nice soothing background music for getting stuff done.

It doesn't matter what song it is....I'll sing it loud and proud!

Background music is very important

You are never to old to rock and roll except when you get as old as me

I find myself listening to the music channels on tv quite often, too. 80's pop, or Jazz Giants. Recently they added a heavy metal station, which is great. What I like about these is that I'm still discovering stuff after being an avid music fan for over 30 years. ~ M
