Likes and Dislikes - How Much Alike Are You and Your Partner
My husband and I are polar opposites when it comes to music. I prefer oldies, 70’s and 80’s stuff, he prefers hip hop and all the new folks out there. I barely even know a few new folks names, never mind want to listen to their music. I’m not sure I mentioned this before but my husband and I really don’t share a lot of "relaxing" ideas. Music is just one place where we split.
However, Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s All Summer Long is a take off of Skynryd’s Sweet Home Alabama. Sweet Home Alabama was written as an answer to two songs, Southern Man by Neil Young (the lyrics "Well, I heard Mr. Young Sing about her" with her obviously being our state. The other song was Alabama by Neil Young. Both of these songs dealt with racism and slavery in the American South. The song even references Alabama Governor George Wallace and the Watergate Scandal.
Now, with all that said, I can’t imagine why my husband didn’t hear the songs and catch the lyrics above and
"in Birmingham we love the Governor (boo boo boo)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth."
but apparently, since he is from Louisiana, he had never put much thought into it. And, with that, I was able to teach my husband something. That is something that doesn’t happen often.
He is a genius, a know-it-all even in areas where he doesn’t and I rarely get to play the upper card. So, with that, I’m wondering about you guys, is there some obvious difference in you and your spouse? Do you have the same taste in movies? (Wayne and I don’t.) Do you have the same taste in decor? (Wayne and I don’t.)
I know, most of you are sitting there wondering what in the world we have in common. Sometimes I wonder too, but mostly I just know that love binds us together. Period. Now, tell me about you.
