No Reason for Me to Watch DWTS Now
Thanks to America for taking away the one thing that had almost lured me in to Dancing with the Stars this season: Belinda Carlisle.
The Go-Gos are one of the first bands I liked. My parents listened to country music, but when I was about 7 or 8, I decided it was time for me to start listening to my own music So I found a pop station on the radio–93.1 KSND, which I believe is now a country station. I also started watching music videos on tv Friday and Saturday nights. MTV came a few months after I turned 8, and I started watching it from day 1. The videos I remember from these pre-MTV days are Jessie’s Girl, something by The Cars, and Our Lips Are Sealed. I still like Rick Springfield, The Cars, and The Go-Gos.
I really had to think about whether I would follow Belinda Carlisle on DWTS this season out of my continuing love for her band. I certianly wouldn’t watch the show live, as it comes on opposite Chuck. But there was a slim chance that I might have had a moment of weakness over the weekend and watched it online.
I thank America for saving me from the horror.
