Music Monday: Don't Call It A Comeback (Again)!

"Don't you call this a regular jam,
I'm gonna rock this land,
I'm gonna take this itty bitty world by storm...
And I'm just gettin warm!"



Given that I almost always feel as though I'm on one come back or another (running, working, living), and especially so of late in relation to my training, which during my Indoor Track and Field coaching has been on-existent, I figured I'd roll with "Mame Said Knock You " by LL Cool J from 1991(!) this week.

I think I write this nearly every week, but I cannot believe that this song was released in 1991, nearly twenty-eight eighteen (whew!) years ago... I remember receiving this cassette as a gift--actually the gift-giver first gave me some Lenny Kravitz tape that came out around the same time with nearly the same title, which I promptly returned for this superior gem.

This jam strikes me as the type of song that always gets the blood going and makes a work-out slightly more intense. Were I one to listen to music during a run, this migh5 be a song I would put in rotation during the waning miles of a long race to get a little extra jolt of energy.

Embrassez votre été invincible!

Scotty,

A bit of good news for you... you're not as old as you think you are. 1991 was only 18 years ago, not twenty-eight! I worked for a hip-hop radio station for a brief stint in 1993-94 and remember having a fave LL Cool J album, but memory fails me on the names of the songs...something dirty about pink cookies and tall buildings I think.

I'm actually voting on Battle of the Blogs on the train home from NYC, using my shiny new tethered Blackberry Internet connection... pretty cool after I got through 3 hours on the phone with AT&T tech support!

Happy Music Monday to you... it's almost Friday!

Roxy
