NOW

One thing that influences me is music that tells a story. I have always found it gets my attention. It can tell a fictional story, but the best songs too me come from history. It could be about a person, a place or an event that took place. My favorite group that tells stories in their music is Old Crow Medicine Show, album name Tennessee Pusher. They have a story in every song for all kinds of moods. When I travel Like to listen to this album. When I leave and listen to their music in my car a feel much better once I get there.

Comedy is the second popular thing I like to listen too. When I don't feel in the mood for music I like to listen to Bob and Tom in the morning. They have short skits that sometimes pertain to current events. I love it when they make fun of celebrities and sports personalities. In the mornings I am tired once I get my kids off to school and need a little comedy  pick me up. It helps me to set the mood for the rest of the day.

 The smart phone is the next selection of my aspect of pop culture. It just does everything. It almost makes me God-like. If I don't have the answers, it is only a search away. Who ever came up with apps is a genius. I love the GPS features that never lets me get lost.(AS LONG AS I HAVE SIGNAL) If i don't have signal I can always turn on the Wi-Fi  and make calls search the web and order those concert tickets.

My son and I love NFL football. It is a time when we get to shed our normal routine for some full unadulterated madness of yelling at the T.V. (no swearing please) and jumping around the living room like a bunch of crazed animals when our teams does well. there is also the yelling when they don't do so well. It has its ups and downs. I feel it is the best kind of therapy when bringing a father and son together. He enjoys it as much as I do, and knows more about the players than anyone I know. I gives more things to talk about with the rest of our family who are big fans.

I know not everyone likes adult swim. I would never let my kids watch it. I however am not a kid. Well maybe a big kid. I enjoy watching this channel because it takes me back to my childhood when I would have too fight to watch the cartoons of the day. Not only do i get to watch old cartoons, they put a hilarious spin on them. I only wish i could have come up with the idea. My favorite show is Robot Chicken. They us all the old likenesses of the cartoons from the 80's and some new cartoons and make parodies of them. Plane and simple it just takes me back.
