My oldest neice is now something like 12 or 13 years old. When I dont think about her being my neice, I feel like she should be a lot more grown up than shes acting. I feel like I was a hell of a lot smarter than that when I was thirteen, but hey, dont we all? Anyway, she has been fighting with her mother (my sister) and her dad because she wants to hang a picture of Eminem in her locker. There's a part of me that says "let her hang the stupid poster, worry about more important things", but theres also this other part of me that screams "There is so much good music out there right now! Dont support that hate crazed Fuck!". T.J.(my sisters husband, and not my favorite person in the world) told her that she could hang the thing under one condition... If she put up a picture of someone who supported the same ideals. Namely, Adolf Hitler. I think his words were something like "We want everyone to know exactly how you feel about women and blacks and jews, with those two, it oughta be apparent". Other than the fact that its not anything resembleing pol. correct, I think that might be the most insightful thing he's ever said. I dont want to have kids, I just want to borrow other peoples babies for a while. Babies are super cute.
Oh yeah. So Ive decided to make her a comp tape. I'd appreciate suggestions for songs to move her away from the Idaho radio station top 20 shes listening to now, but they have to be mild enough for my sister to approve. Send me the catchiest thing you can think of for a thirteen year old. I know that some of you are a goldmine of musical information.
