On my way back from a meeting today I listened to the radio. I don't do that very often because the talking in the morning (and on the way home for that matter) makes me want to drive my car off a bridge. However, I was driving in the middle of the day so I thought I would give the radio a try.

3 songs that reminded me why I don't listen to the radio:
1) 'My Humps '-Black Eyed Peas. Seriously? I hate this song. Not just because it is not that great musically, but the lyrics are annoying. Just a sample for you:
What you gon' do with all that junk? All that junk inside that trunk? I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk, Get you love drunk off my hump. What u gon' do with all that ass? All that ass inside them jeans? I'm a make, make, make, make you scream Make u scream, make you scream. Cos of my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump. My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps.
I am not trying to be a snob, but seriously. Love drunk off my hump?
2) 'Right Thurr' - Chingy. Yeah, so I looked up who "sings" this. Are all those R's really necessary?
3)'Unfaithful' - Rihanna. From what I can tell she's singing a song about how she's cheating on her boyfriend and how she is sure that he knows and is sure that it is killing him, therefore she is murdering him but she doesn't want to be a murderer. Sweetie, if you don't want to continue "murdering" your boyfriend maybe you should either stop having the affair or break up with your boyfriend. Just a thought.
2 Songs that made me glad I was listening to the radio:
1) 'Sexual Healing' - Marvin Gaye. Really a master at work.
2) 'I'm not ready to make nice' - Dixie Chicks. Not only is the music itself complex and hauntingly beautiful, I like what they are saying as well. I continue to be impressed that they stand by their beliefs and find ways to express it through their art.
