Meigan’s Perspective on Music
By admin | January 20, 2008
I was speaking with an old schoolmate, and as usual the conversation turned to kids and music. He mentioned his college age son was really into the same music we liked backed during our high school days…Beatles, Stones, Don McClean. Sure enough my son, now 25, likes all the music I used to love. Could it be that the music of the 60s and 70s is the new classical music that will live for generations….like music from the classical period that gave us Beethoven and Mozart?Who knows…but I did ask my 11 year old daughter to write out some of her thoughts on music. Meigan has very broad taste in music, and she somehow knows all the lyrics to songs I knew in the 9th grade. It’s cool that she and I can tune the radio to the oldies channel, and enjoy the same great old songsNow here’s Meigan….
I may be young, but my musical tastes grow beyond just Hannah Montana and Disney. I still love to listen to the oldies stations with people like Sly and the family stone, and songs like “Time of season” and “You’re no good”. Also, A really big part of my musical interests are the Beatles. I love all their music, or at least what I’ve heard. I think we should get more kids to listen to a wider variety of music. Don’t get me wrong, There are some great artists that have been introduced within the last decade or so, But some even greater ones before that. I really only know of one genre of music I don’t like rap. It just seems useless to me and I can barley understand the words they say because they talk so fast. Again, that is just my opinion. Some of artists I like that are younger include Raven Symone, Carrie Underwood, and Relient K. As I said before, almost all types of music are for me.Contributed By Meigan Porter
