Music, music, music

I just spent about 90 minutes on iTunes buying old songs and getting very nostalgic. And you know what I realized? Nobody sings anymore. Or dances. Not anyone I know who's in their 40s or younger, anyway. Why? God, my friends and I would spontaneously break into song - or dance - all of the time. darlong and I do, too, even now. But I've never heard any of my younger friends sing (besides caerwynx). And never, ever dance around just for the hell of it. What's up with that? I know y'all love music.

I remember my friends and I dancing in the supermarket to the muzak or singing along with it. I still do that, btw, the singing part. And on occasion someone - my age or older - will join in, and we'll grin at each other and continue on with our shopping. There was the time, back in CT, when Carol, Robin, and I started a conga line through the housewares department at the local K-Mart. Just because the music was fun. And another woman (around our age) nearby abandoned her shopping cart and joined in. When the music ended, we all laughed and she said, "You know, my daughter would be so embarrassed by this. She thinks I'm crazy when I ask her to dance with me." We all agreed kids today are weird, and we went back to shopping.

I think we all need more dancing and singing. See to it, OK?
