Friday, January 21, 2011: Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heart

Music is like food.

There is some music that you need to listen to in order to grow as a person, music with depth and insight and meaning.

Music can speak into unspeakable situations, can articulate emotions and experiences we struggle to come to grips with, it can raise us soring into the heights or bring us low to keep us grounded.

In other words, sometimes music is vegetables. We need to eat our vegetables in order to grow up big and strong.

I don't know about you but there are times I just don't want to eat my vegetables. Those are the times I love the Crüe.

Mötley Crüe is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of cheeseburgers and chili cheese fries, washed down with a 64 oz mug of Cherry Coke. You know you love it, too.

Here's one of the best Friday songs ever recorded.

Crank it up, cupcake, push the pedal down and drive screaming into the weekend.
