"I went somewhere a few weeks ago and only young people were there. Their ages ranged between sixteen to no more than twenty two. I found them listening to Michael Bolton.

I asked "Wait a minute whose CD is this?"

One of them told me which one of them owned the CD. I looked at her, she is no more than eighteen - just graduated. I said to one of them, "Ah, but can you tell me the name of the singer."

One of the young men smiled and replied, "Michael Bolton. Don't everyone listen to him?"

I replied "Yes, but..."

He interrupted me, "You think we are two young to listen to him."

"Well, I am surprised."

Still smiling he said, "Mrs....., his songs are good, when songs are good they transcend generations."

"I guess so." I responded with a shake of my head. "Do you want a copy?" He asked.

I said "No, I like originals. For me it must be the real thing or nothing." I did what I came to do and I left the young people listening to their Michael Bolton CD.

To myself I said, "This man has really transcended generations, women who could be my mother were listening to him while I was a child. Now young people younger than me are enjoying his songs."

When I got to my vehicle, I inserted my key into the ignition and as the engine turned, one of my Michael Bolton CDs electrified through my speakers. I drove off smiling, my eyes partly closed. That man Michael Bolton is just too sweet. like good wine, he gets better and better. No wonder people are stealing my CDs.

I have other CDs covering most of the songs on this particular CD, there are two songs on this one that I do not have though and I am thinking about buying it. "In the arms of love" sounds so sweet I want it. Even when the man sings soul I close my eyes and forget he is white with the most beautiful eyes. Hey, listen to "Tired of Being Alone" close your eyes and his soul comes from a heart as red blooded as my own. He is hot, hot, hot!"
