Not to steal the thunder from Shayann but she is right...the obsession with Guitar Hero is spreading! I think the Thomas Family was supposed to be the next big family rock group...maybe it's not too late. We have spent the past 3 Sunday evenings at my parents' house rockin' it out. And Shayann & I played together for a few hours on Friday night too. Nate has had the game for a while and decided to bring it over to share. Nate can really rock, Shayann is getting there (easy Shayann...I am just talking about experience wise), I am getting started, but there is nothing better than watching Kevin rock it out!!
For starters, Kevin refuses to rock sitting down..."rockstars stand up." His favorite song is One by Metallica. After his first time playing it he asked me if I could download that song to his mp3 player for him!! He also loves him some Alice in Chains "School's Out" and "When You Were Young" by The Killers.
This has been really fun for me because one of the things I take pride in is the effort I have made to expose Kevin to all kinds of great music and now because of this Guitar Hero thing, he is ready to talk about it more. Like when he randomly says "I know who sings that song One...Metal-i-ca" and I can correct him. Then the next day on the way to school Enter Sandman comes on the radio and I when I tell Kevin that it is Metallica he simply replies "AWESOME!!!" It is great.
Really my favorite part of it is watching Kevin enjoying something that I love, and sharing it with the people we love. Nate gets so into it and it is so fun watching Kevin feed off of it. Like tonight when he challenged Kevin to learn the ZZ Top song La Grange so he can play it for him next week. We have yet to get Byron or Sharlene to try but they have been a great audience!! It hasn't gotten old yet and I hope it doesn't for a long time!!!
