Another meme. I post them behind a cut for a reason.

Go to www.popCulturemadness.com and select the year you became 18. Snip the top 50 songs from the list and paste it in your journal. Bold the ones you liked; strike the ones you disliked; and italicize the ones you know but don't exactly like nor dislike. The ones you don't know will stay common text.



I liked almost every song when I was 18. Even though I was an elitist music snob with my friends, nearly everything I heard on the radio pleased me. I have to say, also, that some of the songs I hated back then--like Madonna?--I hear them now and hum jauntily.
