Three in a Row

8/29/2008 - 1:44 pm

Heard these three songs last night on my way home from Back-to-School Night:

 Andy Kim - Rock Me, Gently

Social Distortion - Ring of Fire

Green Day - Hitchin' a Ride

Why they are great: 

Andy Kim because I'm seriously enjoying the 1970s music resurgence, and it's why I watch the extremely bad show Swingtown, even though my husband teases me about it.  Okay for that, and the clothes.  And the wallpaper.  The dialogue is hilarious.  Oh but maybe it's not supposed to be. 

Social Distortion does a good cover of Ring of Fire, which I hardly need to say is a terrific song.  I'm trying to recall if I've ever heard a bad cover of it (karaoke does not count). 

Green Day needs no explanation. 

Am I the only mom with the loud music going?  Does everyone else listen to Enya?


Seriously, one day we were driving and my son said, Mom, I think people can hear the music outside of our car. 

I said, oh, is that bad? 

(Am I the Embarassing Mom?  I guess it's inevitable.)
