As I was changing at the gym, Coolio's, "Gangsta's Paradise" came over the radio, and it brought me all the way back to 7th grade - and my first time dancing with a boy. I mean, it's a great song - but first dance with a boy song? No, no, I did not dance to "When a Man Loves a Woman" or some LFO song for my first time. I had to dance to "Gangsta's Paradise". And I believe we were grinding (sorry,Mom and Dad). And I believe I was a privleged 12 year old growing up in the suburbs in the Midwest. And I believe it was at Dominican Catholic all girl's school Friday night dance, with nuns as chaperones. "Gangsta's Paradise".
Guess I always had a love of the wild side.
