Y.M.C.A.
It's been two weeks and I am still sick. I have missed so much work that I am going to get evicted because I have no $. I've taken to hiding in my room to escape my two kids who are bickering over whether one or the other is cheating at some Gundam video game they're playing in the other room. I feel like I'm being run over by a truck, I feel depressed, I feel trapped...but wait, there is a light on the horizon!
Flipping around the TV taking in the banal Sunday afternoon offerings I run into my favorite show. This show changes from time to time but I love it and watch it with gusto. It is the Time Life Music Collection Informercial. The show could be about the "Greatest Modern Soul Classics" or the "Best Love Songs of the 50's". It really doesn't matter I will watch it no matter what they are hawking this week. Today's offering was the best in quite a while...(drumroll please)..."The 70's Music Explosion"! I must own "The 70's Music Explosion" because it has some of the worst music ever created all on 10 discs! How could anyone resist a collection that has such gems as The Streak, Bad Blood, Rhinestone Cowboy, Baby I A Want You, Escape (The Pina Colada Song) and Mr. Bigstuff? This music is LEGENDARY. And those are only the songs on the regular disks, because if you order right now they will include for free a CD with all the best one hit wonders of the 70's. I am enraptured. I'm feeling a little better and dance the Y.M.C.A. as I make my way into the living room and search for my Mac Davis' Greatest Hits CD. Who says the 70's are over? We can relive them again and again and again. Thanks Time Life!
