In music, nothing excited me more than Macklemore and Lewis. Earlier this year I played you their sex marriage song, and their ode to thrift stores. But my FAVE is "My Oh My -- an ode to baseball, the Seattle Mariners' 1995 win, and famous sportscaster Niehaus, who used to exclaim "My oh my!" Also about childhood, and Seattle, and life.
But it could be about the phone book and he'd still have me in tears by the end because the production is gorgeous, and Macklemore's enthusiasm completely infectious. Watch the video, you'll love it.

Passion is an essential part of joy and living an authentic life. But passion makes us vulnerable, as does exposing or expressing that passion, which makes it difficult for some of us (me).
Here's to having a passionate 2013!
You made it to 100! Congrats.
Yay you, on all that reading! I think you beat me by a few, but not too many.
Yeah, passion is good, and necessary because we need a little fire in our lives to balance us. But I prefer to keep my passions to things rather than people. ; )
@Skye - You're so right. We want to express passion about something, but then worry what others will think--do we appear naive, or foolish, or having bad taste?
@JJJ - Thanks!
@Robena - Congrats to you too then!
Re passion for people - I don't believe it! I've seen you passionate about your neighbor Betty, your kids, fellow writers... :-D
