jay-z and britney...top 40 and teen pop unites us all. transcends boundaries. i used to be a Hater. but my love of dancing won out now i can't deny the power of great hooks and good beats. so, yes, jay-z, britney, miley, enthusiastically rihanna...and more reluctantly, katy perry, whose song "Firework" was strangely satisfying to dance to in Kate's Nia routine today. exploding my arms up with the chorus. damn does Nia feel good. danced last night and today...remembering to remember myself. plus community feels supportive and comforting these days. goodnight.
p.s. how pop songs work by Charles Hazlewood is a neat documentary that looks at the components of those catchy songs and what makes them successful. what are your favorite pop songs? though rihanna and britney satisfy my dancing desires...there's my beloved Joni Mitchell at a different (more poetic/profound) end of the pop spectrum.
