It may have noticed that I have not posted anything in the last 2 months. I don't really have a reason, I just didn't feel like writing to noone, so I didn't. Now, I randomly do. Yeah, I'm unpredictable. Life is more interesting that way.
Story time: I work about 20 miles away from where I live, and with traffic, you can imagine that I have plenty of time to listen to the radio in my car. I don't particularly want to listen to the radio, however it is the only source of music in my '94 Honda Civic (the tape player doesn't work and connecting my ipod to the cigarette lighter does nothing but take away the sound completely). So, I was driving in traffic, listening to a Simon and Garfunkel song, which I was very happy about, when the radio DJ came on and actually used the term SimFunkel to refer to these musical legends. I was shocked and outraged (well, maybe just slightly offended, but in order to make this blog more interesting, let's go with shocked and outraged)!!! Who does this DJ think he is? Just because the tabloids decided that "bradgelina" (I'm not really sure if this is how you say it, a friend just said it to me when I mentioned the DJ using SimFunkel) was a good idea, does not mean that you should apply the same concept to music legends. Does it really take that much longer for you to say Simon and Garfunkel? Do you really think that you will be able to relate to the younger generation if you can put to names together to form one awkwardly pronounced name? I say no.
Okay, rant done. :D
Peace, Joe
