Sean had a doctor’s appointment this past Monday; so as his sole, legal guardian, I needed to accompany him because he is still a minor. I was not prepared for the cold! That’s for sure! Sean and my Mom ran into her house after the appointment to get some stuff. I was left alone in the car listening to the radio.
As I have stated before, I am OLD! Nowadays, because I no longer am a morning commuter, I don’t listen to my morning talk shows on the radio that I have in my car on my way to work. I no longer go to work. So, when I was left alone in the car, I listened to the 90s on nine. I heard this song. I inmediately thought of Dawson’s Creek even though I was NOT a huge watcher of the show.
As the song continued to play, I was reminded of an assignment I was given when I was an undergrad in college. It had something to do with artistic freedom and the fact that the rules of grammar are not always followed closely by artists. A girl in my class who I often talked with cited this song. I can still see her standing in front of the classroom presenting her paper but I can’t remember which professor or even which class it was.
I don’t even remember what example that I used! She cited the first lines of the song and the fact that they are NOT grammatically correct but no one really pays attention to that.
I have NOT stopped thinking about this song and that girl presenting that paper in my English class. I can’t even remember that girls name but we had a lot of English classes together in the CASL building at U of M Deerborn.
