Dec. 29, 2004 You would almost think that given all the comments written about Britney Spears and that fellow Emimeim or M & M's that they are demon spawned children who just invented $ex. Not so I remember certain radio stations or television stations that did not want Elvis Presley on stage. The King of Rock and Roll made many a mother cringe with the swinging of his hips. Not to mention the curl of his lip when he sang. Aha but then Ed Sullivan invited him on his show nd the rest is history. Of course some radio personalties went to jail for playing hit music that did not fit in with the mainstream public. Yes by now we have heard all the stories and seen the movies that he made several dozen times. A few years back some other famous hippie's of my generation tried singing some of his songs. Not that he would now be considered a paragon of virtue. That is no one associated with supplying him his daily fixes could be either. I suppose the rich and the powerful will always have access to most anything they want. Personally I have not heard Britney Spears but even with all his faults I loved Elvis's music. But then you had to grow up with American bandstand. Now that ageless Dick Clark has to bow to Regis Philbin for the New Year's celebration. The sound of Motown and its stars are probably my favorite so why should we be upset when the younger generation have their own stars. I must admit thought that I have heard some of the rap music and find it interesting. But I go back to something that I wrote years ago if you don't like certain music use the on and off button. That Britney Spears has done some tasteless things is true. That she is young and foolish well I guess that it true but then so was I when I was her age. Something that I always admired about my father is that he never criticized any one else's children even when they were criticizing us. I am sure glad the Brits or whoever is concerned, thinks that the Americans invented Christianity. Sorry but we can not take credit for that. As I said before it is a matter of choice on what you beleive or don't beleive. We will all find out at the end of our physical life won't we. As for sports I must say farewell to Reggie White who died at his home. It is a matter of opinion with Kobe Bryant which turned out to be a he said, she said thing. However he would not have been in trouble at all if he had kept his pants zipped. Well so it goes that each generation has that celebrity that is the cause of a whole world's problems. With my generation it was Elvis and a few others. Given the comments about religions and holiday celebrations I will have to admit that there is reason to beleive in evolution. All one has to do is look at the ACLU, liberals and a few others posing as being born. Remember Howard Dean and his famous scream? By the way those mysterious booms have been determined to be caused by seimagrahic changes in Richmond, Virginia. Last year in December a small quake was felt throughout the state. One of the largest faultline is alleged to run just beneath Nashville, Tennesse running through Virginia. Does country music have an effect on that no it doesn't. Me no matter how many times people sneer or deny or say Jesus Christ was made up it will not change my belief. But to each its own. ------------ About the author Judy T.
