PATRIDGE FAMILY CHEESEY? REALLY?

So last weekend Tarzan and I and Molly took a quick trip to Las Vegas. En route, I was the Entertainment Director (ipod music management) and I thought I was doing a really great job. Tarzan took a phone call that was fairly long (thirty minutes) and so I put on the stuff that he doesn't care for but I like until he was finished. This would include Ambrosia, Carly Simon, Madonna, etc. He got off the phone and I immediately put on his driving faves, i.e., Kenny Chesney, The Eagles, and his all time favorite - Billy Joel. Then I switched to a few of my favorite oldies, in particular, a number by The Rasberries called "Go All the Way." Okay, this has some great rock and roll parts in it that I really love. What was his comment?

Tarzan: Who is this? (in a snarly way)

Me: The Rasberries

Tarzan: Hesitation, then "This is SO PARTRIDGE FAMILY CHEESEY!"

Me: "But what about this part - it's so cool."

Tarzan: "It's SO CHEESY. Do you really like this stuff?"

Me: I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Laurie Russell.

Tarzan: No sound, only rolls his eyes.

So, apparently my husband does not know the full gamut of music that I adore. My ipod has everything from Bay City Rollers (MAJOR EYE ROLL), to AC/DC and everything in between. I quit my job as Entertainment Director and turned the ipod over to Molly. Apparently, she doesn't have PARTRIDGE FAMILY CHEESEY TASTE.

And, just for the record, I do not nor ever will have David Cassidy OR the Partridge Family on my ipod.
