80's Music Kicks Todays Music's Ass

I remember Chris Rock saying "You will always love the music that you were listening to when you started to have sex." I definitely can understand that for a guy -yet for a young girl, I would say, "You will always love the music that you started lip syncing to in the mirror-and looked good doing it." I guess that last part is debatable but the music of the 80's was POWERFUL! The hair was big, emotion oozed out of each verse and mix tapes were the thing. 
"I see you through the smoky air, can you feel the weight of my stare. Eye to eye we need no words at all." Can you call it? ... Madonna! 
How about "99 dreams I have had. In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here"

Nena kicks butt!

Music of today is lame, unimaginative and frankly lacks heart. Today we have Snoop Dogg "1, 2, 3 to the 4, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre are at the door. " 
Hmmmm, how did they come up with that?  or     
"This is the best song ever made in the world,
This is the best song ever made in the world.
Other songs have different instruments, like a guitar or a girl
But they are not the best songs ever made in the world" by Jon Lajoi. 

"Patty cake, patty cake, microwave. Circles make a square, damn i’m paid." Young Jeezy- 
ARE YOU PICKING UP WHAT I AM THROWING DOWN? - Actually just leave it, don't pick it up..

I feel as if we have lost touch with our courage to be our authentic selves; to say what we feel to those we care about and most importantly to ourselves. We lie to our own self everyday when we ignore our health, ignore our "gut" feelings, ignoring our own innate wisdom. Isn't it about time we sing ourselves a love song? or hold up a boom box to our souls to 'Say Anything'  true and purposeful? We are always with ourselves and will be until kingdom come yet we treat ourselves pretty shitty and let others blast their "Yo Yo Yo, my name is Joe" at us.  We follow along like they are the pied piper - but watch out, he is leading you out of town and over a cliff- turn away from the light! Those really bad rappers I am talking about are the ones selling you fast food, sugar pops and drugs. Each makes you weaker so you have less gumpshun (sp?), hutspah (sp?) and get up and go-ness to be who you really are - a true rockstar of the 80's who sang because they had something to say. Your body has something to say, and it is the best friend you will ever have! Time to listen people...
What song would you sing to yourself?

I am choosing today to sing "Girls just want to have fun!" by Cyndi Lauper or "Freedom" by George Michael instead of any McDonald's jingle or Celebrex musak. So raise your voices, don't worry if you are in tune or not - this is your life, your song - so get to singing it! Take off the headphones of mass media telling you that you are broken and not enough without what they sell because they can "Hit the Road Jack!"
