Spice Girls Thoughts 2009
The first cassette tape I ever bought was a copy of Spice by Spice Girls from a Wal-mart in Orlando. I listened to it about a million times in my dad’s walkman which became my walkman. Despite the decade+ that’s passed and my various degrees of embarassment, dislike, and apathy towards the Spice Girls over the years, listening to this album now I can’t help but feel a place in my heart for these songs. I literally haven’t heard this since I stopped being crazy about them in 5th grade, yet I still know all the words and how the next parts of the song will sound. It’s clear to me now that Spice is engrained in my memory, probably forever. When I’m sixty I’ll still be able to sing along to “If U Can’t Dance” and “Last Time Lover”. Every once in a while an adult should shed their jaded, cynical shell and enjoy something for what it is.
Girl Power.
