Riley's Observations On Angsty Pop


We were driving around yesterday, listening to 94.1, WHBC, the local catch-all top 40 station. It's not as lame as it sounds. The play some good music and the John Tesh radio show, which I highly recommend. Anyway, they happened to be playing some whiny, angsty song by, let's say Nickelback.


About halfway through the song, Riley remarks, "I don't know what he's talking about but he sure is serious!"

"He sure is," I said.

    Looks rainy up there. Maybe Ms. R. could give the singer an orca pin.

    ::sigh:: I wish I could have conversations like that with my kids.

    meanwhile, I'm totally pinching that line to use at school. When some kid says something stupid, I'll look at the rest of the class and use Ms. R's line.

    I'd like to get Riley's take on other things, too. How about politics?

    BO: Pinch away! It's a great line.

    Echo & Amy: I'm working on it. Our lawyers are having conversations...

    Deadspot: I know!

    Dale: Not yet...

    Chris: She may be able to start talking about politics soon. We saw a stop sign this weekend that had the word "WAR" written beneath the "Stop". Riley asked me what that word was and I had to tell her what war meant. I also had to explain about grafitti and how some of it was naughty and some of it was political.

    I think this is an indication that doesn't care for them. Good!

    Sounds like Riley should consider a job as a record producer.

    When she grows up and starts blogging she'll probably finish that remark. As in "I don't know what he's talking about but he sure is serious. Serious about sucking." And then I will blogroll her immediately.

    I think she's working part time for Air Canada. There was an ad in my email with this photo.
