What do I mean I want rock? I must be showing my age, it was aheavy mental band from the eighties, Twisted Sister. Does thismean I think we all should bang are heads? I don't think so. Nowif we aren't to bang our heads what are we supposed to do?
Have you ever said to yourself, if I knew now what I didn't knowthen, I would go back in a heartbeat? I believe that most peoplein there thirties would normally say this, let's take a closerlook at this statement. Would you really go back in life if youwere to be sixteen again?
I mean all the new drugs, ecstasy and the like, cigarettecompanies trying to get you hooked by going after the 14 to 16year olds, because if they can they know that they have a suckerfor life. Now I bet you are saying to yourself they say not tosmoke now, then why I asked do you see all the magazine ads lookso cool and how you look great with a cigarette in your hand.
Same with chew, dip, rub, snuff, well all know the baseballplayers do it and none of them are dying. Wrong answer there isplenty of baseball players to old to play anymore but they areonly thirty-eight or thirty-nine. Far from over the hill, thatcome down with mouth cancer, we never here of those sad, sadstories of how half there jaw was removed, yet every kid wantsto be like the big boys so they give it a try and then they gethooked and it is all over but the crying, so it gets passed downto another generation. So now, we look at peer pressure and thefact that every song on the radio is about sex, sex, sex so nowyou have to worry about being sexually active at a young age.
Of course, you want more than your parents had, and this makesyou an unruly kid, and you want it now! Let's not leave out thefact that they are not letting kids be kids anymore, I mean theyshove school work down their throats at such a young age, theybarely get to bang their knee.
Now let's not forget about alcohol and how dangerous it isbecoming to drink. Now people will call them social drinking,well let me tell you, what I know about social drinking, itdoesn't exist because when people start to get a buzz, this iswhen it is hard to stop, because you feel so good, so you decideat the tender age of 17 you are going to get drunk at thisweekends party.
You get drunk and have unsafe sex, opps I may not be pregnantbut the Doctor says I have aides, do you really think there isstill social drinking? You and I both know that you would havenever slept with him or her and to top it all off, yourboyfriend didn't know you cheated on him and you have sex withhim infecting him with HIV and now you are pregnant!
Now you have slain your first-born child who has aids becauseyou thought it would be ok to have a "SOCIAL DRINK". Now do yousee all the pressure of the younger generation and what theymust face today? Would you really want to go back after all thatwe have seen, or would you stay in your easy chair and try andraise your children to the best of your ability?
I mean does it really sound that appealing to you, as I take acloser look at the situation, I see pain and lots of it and allI can think is the fact that I DON'T WANT ROCK and as far asthat goes, let the eighties end, it was a sexual revelation thatneeds to put to rest, that we can teach our kids, what we didwrong and why they should try and learn from our mistakes. Idon't want to rock!
I prefer Barry Manilows Even Now! It kind of goes like this,even I wake up crying in the middle of the night wondering whereyou are and what I've done, even now, even now I wake up cryingasking myself were you are and what I have done wrong, even nowthat we have come so far, I wondering what where you are andwhat you'd do if you knew,
that even know I wake up crying in the middle of the nightwondering were you are and what you'd do if you knew, I stillcared! Therefore, I say once again, I don't want to go back andI don't want to rock anymore, because even now I wake up crying!
