LOL, Marie! You go, girl!
I'm a "lady"-believe it or not! I just swear like a sailor-but not in public...at least, not so anyone can hear me...
I'm very careful around small children and the elderly.
I also believe in calling cow sh*t cow sh*t.
Not sure why the ladies are in the minority, as MK fans go. *BUT*, I will venture a guess. In my experience, most of the women I know are not particularly knowledgeable or interested in music-other than knowing what they like to hear (i.e.:Celine Dion, Neil Diamond, most of the pop singers, etc.). Very few of my women friends have diverse musical tastes. I really don't know why. Even fewer remember Dire Straits, let alone know who MK is.
I have always loved music-all kinds. My musical tastes were further expanded when Gerry and I hooked up. He loooooves music of all kinds, as well. I
love most of what he loves and vice-versa (although I'm not a big jazz fan). He has expanded my appreciation for many different artists, by bringing home and playing all sorts of cds. I've acquired a lot of my appreciation for artists unknown to me by osmosis. He plays it, I hear it. I don't know how many times he's played something in the past and I've wandered into the room to say "Who
is this? I love it!"
We've always listened to music in our house and our boys were brought up hearing all kinds of stuff (not just my swearing
). They've even opened our ears to a few musical treats!
Bottom line? I think the "ladies" of this forum are unusual. I never cease to be amazed by their knowledge and appreciation of good music-especially MK's!
What do
you think? Ladies? Do your women friends and acquaintances share your appreciation for good music?
