Kickin' it Old School Style

Today I was talking with my friend the Hairstylist about the Target add that is a "recreation " of The Breakfast Club. Then our other friend chimed in and was amazed at how young all the children were. The three of us were laughing about how they probably had to watch the movie and complained to all their friends about how they had to watch an old movie. Then we started off on a tangent about how the (principal in the movie) had to put down the phone to check on them, and my stylist was saying her mom still had a phone with a cord. The other friend, started acting out how when she was younger her parents had a phone with a long cord, long enough so she could run in the bathroom and have some privacy. Remember how you had to untangle the cord by holding it upside down.This funny conversation led me to some other thoughts of kickin' it old school . On my iPod shuffle (I have been slow to the wonders of iPodhood) I have been listening to the Beastie Boys, Slick Rick, L.L. Cool J, and 3rd Bass. These folks are the big brothers and sisters ( Mary J. Blige is on one song) of today's rappers. I remember MTV, when it was just one channel, and played music videos. I also watched the First Real World -(don't remember the city). I remember when Will Smith was a rapper, and on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and not a weirdo, like his new best friend Tom Cruise, who was sort of cute, at the time ( not my taste) and not a psycho. Such an old lady I am! xoox, B
