If you know me, you know I love music. You also know I listen to a few things I wouldn’t let Chelsea listen to (Meatloaf, for example). I know people have different musical tastes and as long as I don’t have to listen to Helmut Lotti, I’m OK if you do. I’m not OK if you are not considerate about it. I have an iPod and I don’t force you to listen to Bon Jovi, Meatloaf, Dr. Hook, Billy Joel, John Cougar or the B-52s (yes, all on my iPod). Which brings me to the reason for this post.
We attended a soccer game a couple of weeks ago and heard the raunchiest music ever. The home team had an entire hour of trashy, foul language warm up music. One of their team members climbed up to the press-box and palyed it for all of the world to hear. It was so loud we couldn’t talk and the words were so filthy I can’t repeat them.
After talking to some other soccer parents, I found out that this school was one of two private, Christian schools in town blasting this junk during warm up. Now I know there are other songs out there. Why can’t they use the theme from Rocky? Or Eye of the Tiger? I asked Chelsea if she had any ideas for warm up songs and after considering her team’s record, she said …
Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer”. That’s my girl !!!
