Rock On!

I had a conversation with some friends the other night about music. I’ve heard something I like in almost any genre of music. (I struggle with rap.) I can see how all of it has a place in different parts of our lives. I listen to music while surfing the net, I listen at home while cleaning or relaxing, but I most often listen while driving in my car. With five kids, I do a lot of driving.
I am a product of the 80’s. When a local station plays the 80’s retro stuff I go nuts. My kids think I’m a freak when Jessie’s Girl comes on and I crank it up. But my favorite is classic rock. There is nothing like some good ole Metallica or Ozzy Osborne to keep my mind focused. I love the sound of Boston and Journey. My oldest son got hooked on Scorpions for a while. Maybe that’s not so good.
There is some good stuff out there on the waves. I lean towards rock because I am attracted to the sound. I especially like rock ballads. So, I thought I would share a few of the titles I like and if you are interested, you can look them up and see if you like them too.

**Disclaimer: I am well aware that some of the lyrics are not the most uplifting lyrics ever written. These songs in no way reflect any inner feelings of myself or indicate that I am having any serious issues in my life. I just like the way they sound.
