Yesterday, I took a drive and listened to the radio the whole time. I did a lot of flipping stations and encountered a wide variety of tunes. I heard a country weeper about a man who's daddy's dying, but his daddy wants him to know that he'll always be right by his side. 

I sang along to the chorus of that song by Lizzo where she's cheering up a friend who just got dumped—coaxing her to get pretty, go out to party and find someone better than her no-account ex—as well as to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." It got a little weird during the whole "Galileo" call and response part of the tune, because I insisted on singing every part. 

And yes, I jettisoned my protective suit of irony, embraced sweetness and sang along with great feeling to "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. If you ask me and if you'll pardon my French, I made that song my b*&@!
