While mowing the fields last week, I listened to Pandora. I chose 70s Rock...so it was mostly a battle between Creedence, the Alman Bros., and Lenerd Skynerd and of course, Most Favored Rock Pretty Boy, Tom Petty. Mostly ok...but the damn Pandora lady kept throwing in Motown!!

I'm from Michigan, Motown is part of the soundtrack of my life. But last week, between battling the heat and a reluctant old mower that really just beheads the grass, not cuts it, I decided something. And now that I'm of a “certain age” it's safe to say it:

I AM SICK OF MOTOWN! For right now in my life, I'm tired of music that makes me think of the 4 Tops, or Smoky Robinson, or the Supremes doing their singing and tightly choreographed dance moves thing while most of the group stands in the back in their monkey suits, doing harmony. What the hell does Motown have to do with Southern Rock??? Sadly, I can't find the preferences for Miss Pandora to shut off certain kinds of music.

Oh , yes, this was just to tell anyone that I finally found a style of music that doesn't agree with me...this month anyway. I am growing fond of this Marley guy, makes me wanna put on the cutoffs, flipflops and a t shirt and smell legal pot (but not smoke it, I do like the smell of it) and wander the beach.
