The artist I picked for the My Favorite Band 101 mix project was Britney Spears. Why her you ask? When I became a devoted karaoke enthuseast I encountered the song Im Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman. The song title alone intrigued me because I was constantly encountering it on karaoke lists. I would listen to a song for my first time, and I would think This song is preposterous! I MUST master this song and perform it at karaoke. And so I did, song after song, each one as additional ironic icing. But then one thing led to another. The next thing I know Im actively tracking her in the media, buying remixes, postulating theories about her singing style as well as her artistic or career choices, collecting magazines with her in them, reading biographies about her, mandating that my husband buy me the Britney doll. Then when I was diagnosed with cancer, I couldn't help but notice that my treatment paralelled Britney Spears' personal crises as played out in popular media, right down to the shaving of her head.

In this issue of Caboose, I learned that every culture, every subculture, every genre, every thing ever, theres always something intelligent to be articulated about it. The ways of the world need to be mapped out, so we can understand the universe, and improve each piece of it, or do whatever needs to be done to evolve.
