As many of you know, I had a fight with 99x, and have decided to cut them out of my life. I recommend you do the same, because they promote misogyny and bigotry (see past posts). Well, upon changing my clock radio to another station, I never thought that the opposite effect (i.e., waking up to something pleasant and comforting) could or would happen. But today, it did. I woke up this morning to the sound of Carnie, Chyna, and Wendy; aka Wilson Phillips. The song was “Hold On”. And instantly, I must say (even though I knew the song would be trapped in my head all day) it gave me sense of belonging, and brought back memories of my childhood.
You see, my mom used to put on the Wilson Phillips CD, aptly titled Wilson Phillips, each Saturday morning when she, my sister, and I would do the weekly house chores. We would all be one of the members of the group, and would sing our parts of each song, going through hits like: Impulsive, Release Me, and my personal favorite Hold On. So you can see why this song would definitely take me back, like it did this morning. And just as a side note: Anyone out there that wonders if their child is gay, and you can say that you clean the house with them on Saturday mornings singing along to Wilson Phillips together, The answer is yes. Very homosexually yes.
