It is two weeks before Halloween and the great costume debate is in full swing at our house. Delaney has gone from some Harry Potter character to a Pumpkin Fairy to now a Pop Star with her best friend wearing a matching outfit. I made the mistake of asking what kind of clothes a "Rock Star" wears and i was quickly corrected by Delaney that she was a "Pop Star" not a "Rock Star". I asked what the difference was and she responded that "Rock Stars sing rock songs and Pop Stars sing pop songs".
True enough, but as you grow older and you are tired of screeching teenagers swooning with pretend lust, you become a rock star wearing t-shirts, playing to live crowds, tour buses, and groupies. Your music expands beyond just the Top 40 stations and you actually become a musician.
Wouldn't it be nice if my kids remained pop star fans but listened to rock star music?
