some explanation:

fleetwood mac, queen, elo and janet jackson are all things my mom or dad would listen to, so i just got into what they had around.

i had a great-aunt, mary, who made albums which often could be purchased in truck stops. she and her husband at the time would cover the big hits of the 70s and 80s for truckers to listen to. one of her albums, i remember, had her wearing a red sequined evening gown and leaning against the grill of a big rig. so we listened to a lot of that stuff at my grandparents. thus the juice newton/kenny rogers&dolly parton.

teenage mutant ninja turtles and poppy hip-hop were pretty much all me from ages 7-11 (or maybe like 14). don't get up in my moussed hair and step off my hypercolor shirt.

the rest stands, no explanation.
