TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930s, '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s!!

No matter what our kids and the new generation think about us,

~~~~~~~~~

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE

1930s, '40s, '50s,

'60s and '70s!!

First, we survived

Being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank

While they were

Pregnant.

They took aspirin,

Ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then, after that

Trauma, we were

Put to sleep

On our tummies

In baby cribs

Covered

With bright colored

Lead-based paints.

We had no

Childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets,

And, when we

Rode our bikes,

We had baseball

Caps,

Not helmets, on

Our heads.

As infants and

Children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts,

No air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..

Riding in the

Back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water

From the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one

Soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes,

White bread, real butter, and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.

And we weren't overweight.

WHY?

A lot of times I watch TV and I watch film and there's so many things I'd love to talk about that I feel don't get the opportunity to be shown. Sometimes things become very stereotypical and one-sided, and I feel like it's such a colorful world.

A Minor is one of my all-time favorite keys to play in. It's a very moody key, and also 'A' is the first letter of my name. It just represents the songs through my eyes.
Alicia Keys

Adam Levine and I remade the Rolling Stones' classic Wild Horses, and it is right up my alley, that whole style. It has a style of its own but still stays very true to the classic arrangement, and I love it.
