I don't have time to bring everyone totally up to date--maybe tomorrow. So much to tell, so late at night! But, I was listening to the radio while on my way home this afternoon from EKU (details on that--tomorrow!), and heard this song on the radio. It made me smile (OK, it made me "lol"), so I Googled the lyrics just now, because I came in on the middle of the song. Once I saw the first line, I knew I had to share it. It's by a group I've never heard of, Bowling For Soup.

"1985"

Debbie just hit the wall
she never had it all
one Prozac a day
husband's a CPA
her dreams went out the door
when she turned twenty four
only been with one man
what happened to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
she was gonna be a star
she was gonna shake her ass
on the hood of Whitesnake’s car
her yellow SUV is now the enemy
looks at her average life
and nothing has been alright

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
'cause she still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

She’s seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmo’s Fire
she rocked out to Wham
not a big Limp Bizkit fan
thought she’d get a hand
on a member of Duran Duran

Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and who’s the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio there was)

Springsteen, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
'cause she still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

She hates time make it stop
when did Motley Crew become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop, Stop!
And bring back

Springsteen, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
'cause she still preoccupied
with 1985

It made me laugh because it seemed like the perfect background music for my trip to register again for college at age 43! :^)
