Then I found on TCM, what a REAL singer/performer does!! The King of Rock and Roll, the all time great....my man Elvis on TCM.....Elvis on Tour!!!! As I am watching, it is a conglomeration of appearances from all over, all around the USA!!! THIS is Rock and Roll!!!! |
Old? I think not. Modesty is an old-fashioned concept though and, if we're honest, has been on the outs since the swingers challenged it in the 20's. Even Elvis was considered distasteful due to his own gyrations and style of singing which was a departure from the mainstream teeny-bop of the 50's.
I am a huge proponent of "less is more". I never show cleavage, I never talk about women things in "mixed company" or drop the F-bomb in mixed company even when I stump my toe and want to curse all of my ancestors and future descendants...lol
My husband calls this type of thing "class". Now, I think you can be modern and classy at the same time but that shouldn't have to involve gyration and nakedness!
I admire anyone who challenges any norm of the times and you are one of those by not conforming! It would serve our children well to have beacons of sophistication so that they could learn that they don't have to follow the masses who abandon all dignity and protocol!
I may sound old-fashioned and I may also be old but I stand by defending societal niceties such as respecting women for their MINDS and men for their ability to respect women and most especially their mothers, wives, daughters and sisters.
I don't even watch TV anymore because it is disappointing to see how much things have changed even since the 90s! Will we ever get off this downhill ride re: morals? Unlikely! But, good things come out of freedom of expression, too. I just can't think of any right now cuz I'm on my soapbox...LOL
