One good thing about growing up - Liking rock music and not giving a damn

So - I'm in my thirties- and I still learning things about myself.

My newest discovery... I really like rock music.

I've spent so many years - especially during those teen and early twenties - trying to figure out what was acceptable (aka - cool) that I could never really just get down to what it is that I like...

And I like Rock. You know... that stuff that makes many people cringe. Van Halen, Aerosmith, Skid Row (Oh My God... NO!), Def Leopard.

I think it's becuase I spend so much time being professional, fitting in, and dealing with all the junk in this society that I can do so very little about (politics, taxes, pollution, weeds) - it's nice to have some music that crashes it all into the wall.

It's not sad music, nor is it esoteric, self important, mellow, or trying to "fit in". It just is what it is - and it does it in a BIG way.

I like that.

Now... if only I could find someone to go see Sammy Hagar with me...
