JustListen...

What happened to that music that made you groove... you know when you could sit back in your car and ride; those summertime songs that you listen to on Lake Shore Drive, or on your way to the Circle. I want those songs, I want that feeling, I want to not have a care in the world, or for the music to make me think I don't have a care in the world. I miss Smokey Robinson and Bill Withers... well maybe I don't miss them, cause I never had them, I just wish our generation had an alternative to T Pain, and Usher sometimes. The radio tires me out now, I'm tired of thump-thump music as my Grandfather called it. I want to sit and cruse, live in the music, have it take me somewhere, not think about it, just get lost in the lyrics. It makes me think of that question that Barry Gordy asked his focus group in the Temptations TV movie. He said "if you were down to your last dollar, would you buy this record or a sandwich?" I wish music made me hungry again.
