I Wanna Love Music Again

I am no longer in love and I know it's wrong, but there it is.

I don't love music anymore.

Yeah, this ain't original 'cuz Common said it best, but I'm still going to have my say.

Today the wife just said chill and today is, according to the doctor, the last day I'm contagious. I'm feeling a lot better so I'm puttering around the house doing a little bit here and there and doing a "bleach wash" behind where I go. Today would be THE perfect day to crank up the music system, turn on the best radio station for the moment and just let the music play, but I can't.

The stations that don't offend my sensibilities crank out good tunes every so often, but they are all old school. That's fine, because right now I'm cranking Loose Ends in the background, but I need to get the good NEW feeling again.

I used to be able to listen to the radio, hear what I like, go to the store, get the album and  while in the store, ask around for new music "like this" that they might suggest and give it a listen. You know, when they had a turntable in the store and would spin some stuff for you.

My music fan friends are like me, and no longer in tune to some of the new stuff coming out. Buying a CD or downloading some group just isn't a high priority. Getting Miss D.S.'s Zune to listen to some of her stuff is impossible these days. I have to admit, my daughter's taste is not too bad when it comes to non-hip-hop.

I wanna fall back in love.

I wanna turn on a station and just jam.

Hell, somebody tell me, WHERE'S THE FUNK AT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
