I came across <a href=\"http:\/\/music.aol.com\/artist\/shakira\/174707\/main\">this song and was mesmerized<\/a>.  This was before a friend sent me the video.<\/p>\n<p>Shakira has started a whole new thing for me.  I could not buy <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Hips Don&#8217;t Lie<\/span>, (if anyone can get it for me for my iPod, much obliged) so instead I downloaded her song <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicremedy.com\/audio\/index.cfm?FuseAction=ShowAudioPlayer&amp;AudioId=2888&amp;Quality=6\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">La Tortura<\/span><\/a> for my\/Nat&#8217;s iPod, also very sexy and great to run to or mow the lawn to. Not sure what my neighbors think when they hear me singing half-garbled Spanish. I now have Jammin&#8217; 94.5 programmed into my car radio and I have become acquainted with rap and hip-hop. Sometimes it is just too much, too repetetive, with simplistic sexist content; but so is a lot of rock, too. I find myself listening to the words and I learn stuff. In Krazie Bone&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sing365.com\/music\/lyric.nsf\/PrintLyrics?OpenForm&amp;ParentUnid=1FB08E2507B73451482570BE000AB5C0\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> Ridin Dirty<\/span><\/a>, this guy sings about racial profiling and crooked cops. In another song, whose name I don&#8217;t know, the woman is singing all about being unfaithful. Very sad.<\/p>\n<p>So after watching Shakira gyrate in her harem-esque garb, and trying it myself, I decided that I was going to learn belly-dancing. Why not? These old thrice-contorted abs could use a new kind of workout. Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll spare you the pictures!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After all these years of being stuck in the seventies, listening to &#8220;classic rock,&#8221; I was suddenly so bored with my music that I started flipping around the radio dial (of course it is no longer a dial, hasn&#8217;t been for years, but whatever).
