Special... I couldn’t care less

I didn’t want to listen to pop music anymore. Britney Spears in school uniform was tiring me away from pop and then I heard it.... 

somehow I remember this as t was yesterday. 

I was flicking through my homework books.. with radio Moden from St Petersburg where everything cool happened was on and there was a woman’s voice singing to drums and fun music 

“Do you have an opinion 

A mind of your own? 

I thought your were special...”

I fell in love... with alt rock music with Garbage and Shirley Manson... 

Music exposure or any culture exposure was a bit limited where I come from. 

I remember bying the cassette with pirated compallation of all of garbage. And loving it all. 

I remember seeing the video on MTV when mtv still did videos of “I think I’m paranoid” ... oddly, now it would be a trigger song and will upset folks... 

but last week my teen dream came true.... 

I jumped arms in the air singing on top of my lungs “when I grow up I’ll be stable ... when I grow up I’ll turn the tables “... 

I saw garbage live... 

In Bristol. At the foyer of the stadium. It was an odd location but it had changed the venue I was just so happy to see them. 

Even if I was so tired and actually fell asleep on the way back. And my toes were hurting form standing on tiptoes coz you know short girl problems! 

I am happy. I saw them doing the amazing thing... giving a brilliant speech and know I can definitely do anything because Shirley Manson said so! It was very nice! Even if they didn’t play just hits... but when they did crowd went wild!
