Voice Of A What!?

Everyone can sing, but whether or not we have the talent for it is another thing entirely. There are three types of people. The stony, silent types that hate those of us that sing in our cars. We look like gaping idiots they say, leave that to the gold fish trapped in murky bowls at the dentists office. The talented singers or confident singers that don’t care who hears them, or what they sound like. They just sing anyway, and they enjoy it! Then there are those of us who blare the music so loud no one knows you’re singing. You can’t feel your fingertips after the first few beats from the bass and still we belt it til our lungs collapse... oddly enough it’s not that we can’t sing, we just don’t have that courage it takes to turn it down and actually listen to ourselves. It’s more fun to believe we're in tune, and not know how truly terrible we are. Let us alone! We are happy not knowing, and not letting you know either! We enjoy going deaf, and collapsing our lungs at the same time. It’s safer than opening that realm of vulnerability! If you can sing, please go ahead, it’s wonderful to hear! We all enjoy it, and we look forward to purchasing your CD when it comes out... just don’t expect everyone to be like you. If I don’t sing in the car, don’t be offended. Take it as a compliment! I’d rather hear you than radio anyway! Optimism we all smile... guy at the gas station, don’t glare at me because my music is loud... smile because I’m not blowing smoke in your face. Lady flipping us off at the light because you could feel our bass line... be happy because we were alert enough to notice you were having a bad day! Enjoy the chocolate on the back of your car! Kid on the sidewalk dancing to the same beat.... way to go man! Dance it up, we’ve only got one life to live!
Our music doesn’t scream, it doesn’t promote suicide or drug use (except a few choice classic rock songs... ) It’s totally upbeat, with a beat! Freak, we even blare a little Rachmaninoff on the good occasion! Don’t frown at us because the car bounces with every beat, rejoice because we are happy, healthy, and living! We may not have the voice of an angel; but... you can’t hear us anyway.... HAHA! Have a wonderful day, and enjoy a good slice of the musical pie!
