The Sound of "Real" Music

So I have been back in Memphis for 24 hours...and it feels like I have stepped out of a bubble and arrived to the present. It feels like Crawfordsville has left me disconnected from the one thing in the world I love most: music.

Did you know that the "Lean with It, Rock with It" dance is played out. It was all the rage when I left the M-town in August...but that was so three months ago. Apparently the new dance is called "Walk It Out;" I am trying to learn it as I write, but apparently all that time I spent these last few months watching ESPN News has given my legs enough time to forget how to dance. Oh, I never thought there would come a day when I could not pick up the new dance craze...I guess that means I'm getting old.

Furthermore, Crawfordsville has left me totally disconnected from my favorite artists. Apparently Beyonce has given a concert on AOL that nobody, not even my family, bothered to mentioned to me. I'm REAL upset about that. Apparently I am two months behind for this Chris Brown song called "Say Goodbye"...I am not a Chris Brown fan, but I do like the song...I am just mad that all of America had been listening to it before me.

Also, it seems by boy John Legend has been giving concerts left and right...Was anybody going to bother and tell me he had a new album? This man is like my icon... He genuinely infuses the piano and poetry to create beautifully arranged melodies to represent the external arrangement of harmony we regular folk like to call life. I am sooooooooo made I have been missing out.

But its ok.... I am doing everything in my power to listen to the radio and put all these new songs on my Ipod....So when I come back in a month I wont be four months behind....It will only feel like I lost one month of music...
