Thank Goodness for Pink

Although I am a woman, I never thought I would be grateful for Pink. The Pink I'm talking about is the artist...definitely not the color. (I'm not much of a pink-the-color fan) Her latest album is appropriately titled "I'm Not Dead"....very fitting for an artist who hasn't release material in three years. I must confess. I've generally liked Pink's music, but I wouldn't say I was a groupie. I didn't buy other albums and the party tunes lost their luster after a few rounds of play on the radio. However, Pink's latest album is a whole new story. I purchased the entire album on iTunes after hearing "Stupid Girl" on the radio and listening to 30 seconds of "Long Way to Happy". I must say it's the best album purchase I've made in a long time. The songs have a wonderful beat and are quite catchy, but the best thing about the album is the lyrics. Pink writes most of her own music and her message is very clear. Did you hear "Stupid Girl"? She's not beating around the bush....she's putting it all out there. Where are all the smart women these days?? It's sad to me that women choose to hide behind ignorance in exchange for fame. I have to appreciate a woman who has the courage to say what she believes in. She asks the tough questions that I've wanted to ask Mr. Bush in "Dear Mr. President". She gives all us independent women a song to tell our men to back off (with love) in "Leave Me Alone". She even finds a smart way to discuss the annoyances we ladies experience at the clubs in "U + Ur Hand". In short....take a spin through Pink's latest album. It's refreshingly honest!
