My Old Man Crush

I did some research on music and its affect on people, and I realized why I love music. Did you know they use music as therapy to treat some diseases? The meaning or essence of the song can have a strong enough impact on a person to make them feel better. It creates a psychological change in a person. I love music. I love finding and hearing new songs that have meaning to me. I listen to Country music, and I know, I know most people hate that genre, but get over it. I love it. I play it in my office whenever I work at the desk, and the only thing better than country music is country Christmas music!
A couple weeks ago I told my sister, Holly, that Alan Jackson is incredibly attractive. I've thought that since I was a teenager, and he is kinda like cheese. The older he gets, the better he gets :) His latest song, "Long Way To Go," has been on replay on my computer. At first the lyrics seem sad since he is trying to drink away the memory of a woman, but you almost don't realize since the music is so up beat. As he starts drinking away her memory he finds a bug in his margarita. Dang it. That's gotta be depressing. His escape has a bug in it! He continues to sing about the bug and woman, but by the end he "threw back [the] margarita, the bug just made it sweeter, and we both sang a happy song." It starts out sad, but by the end, the bugs became sweet and the song became happy. I love this song and Alan Jackson :)
