Picture of the Day
A muddy Mill Brook after Friday morning's rain.FEELING OLDWell, they had Midnihgt Madness Friday night at school for the high school. I could hear the music playing as I was cleaning the rooms downstairs in the high school. They play the usual modern dance stuff. The Cha Cha Dance, or something(Move to the left, move to the left, slide to the right), and the latest hip-hop.
They also play some older stuff.
When they were playing Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", I kinda stopped a minute and thought..............
That song came out 7 or 8 years before the current senior class was even born. How is that possible. It was '82/'83 when Michael was all the rage. Seems like yesterday. No, he died yesterday, Thriller was released about 10 years ago, or so it seems. 27 years ago. Jeez..........
One final question.
How is it that all the kids know the words to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'". The song starts playing, and the entire crowd is singing along.
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhereAnd WHY do they know the words?
And teenagers are still fascinated with "Grease". They played Summer Nights. The boys sang John Travolta's part. The girls sang Olivia Newton-John's lines.
Back at our dances, we used to sing along to Eric Clapton's "Cocaine".
She don't like, she don't li-ike,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,COCAINE!!!
