Minor Irritation

5:45 and I am awakened by "Under the Boardwalk" playing in my head. Really happy because for the last few mornings it's been that Alicia Keys in the purple catsuit song. The song itself doesn't bother me, but the lyrics are SO wedded in my mind to the video that I want to scream. Please, somebody, teach that child how to walk in skyscraper stilettos. She looks like a truck driver who can't maintain her balance. And what is up with the decoration on her back? Is it a really amateur tattoo? Did she stay too long at the face painting booth? And am I the only one who thinks the silver, glittery swirl designs look like the welts that remain after branding? Finally what is the role Alicia plays in the video? Spurned lover? Super hero? Biker chick? Is the guy dead? I realize I am not the target audience; so perhaps I should simply shut the hell up. I like Ms. Keys. I do. I'm glad this song isn't in my head right now. No, wait. Nnnnnnooooooo......
