Or We all had Guilty Pleasures

I'm getting old enough now that I don't follow pop culture trends. I listen to music I like and tend to stay away from those I don't. Of Course my Step-brother had a good say in what I listened to all those trips from "city to shore" by not allowing me to touch the radio, my sister helped. They made sure I listened to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles. My choice of top 40 was disallowed in his car.

I'm afraid I have to admit I once owned a New Kids on the Block Album, had a poster of Michael Jackson on my wall and have no problem telling you I like certain Brittany Spears and P!nk songs, but when it comes to Justin Bieber I just listen to the jokes and have to admit I have no idea what he sings. I know more about his dating Selena Gomez and yet have no idea who she is.

So, how am I connected to this teen that I would even be compliant that I know the name, Bieber? What made me decide to write about this heartthrob of teenage girls throughout America? It seems one of my latest Twitter followers is none other than a follower of Bieber as well. My niece apparently holds me in such high regard that she decided to follow me through my twitter feeds. It looks like any of my future waiter rants will have to refrain from profanity.

But why here, why do I dare mention Bieber to the comic masses I so commonly place myself among. Why would I dedicate a whole journal without mentioning The New Mutants, Spider-Man, or CGC? Because maybe, just maybe, my wonderful niece will find this link all by herself and I want her to know that no matter how many times she reads this, that no matter what anyone else thinks; that no matter what anyone says, I am proud of her, even if she likes Justin Bieber, now only if I can get her to follow Stan Lee.

Thanks for Reading
