Music Monday

Interesting comments on my earlier post.  I may have more to say about that at a later time, but for now...it's Music Monday.

I'm not going to pretend that I have ever been asked out by an arrogant, vain, rich, popular, pompous, good looking guy who only wanted to have some fun and break my heart.  It just hasn't happened folks.  But, I like to imagine that if it had happened, I would have  turned him down flat.  I've got my pride after all!  (The truth is, until my 30's when I suddenly made major growth in the backbone and self-worth department, I probably would have accepted gladly, desperate for any attention.  But thankfully I've been married to the sweetest guy on earth for almost 10 years now so I haven't even had to worry about it.)  

In middle school and high school, one of my favorite songs was a funky 70's song called "Mr. Big Stuff" by Jean Knight.  It's a song of ultra confidence.  In the song, she does turn down the no-good player and she does it with style.   Take that, arrogant jerk.  It's a feminist anthem that declares we aren't going to settle for attention from a guy who doesn't love us.  We're holding out for a true, kind man.  This song makes me want to put on some bell bottoms, pick my hair out into a fro, and hit the dance floor.  What about you?
