Wide Open Guilt

The holidays are typically the time for guilty pleasures.  Shopping, food, parties, food, drinking, food…we all tend to celebrate and over indulge ourselves to the brim.  While our bellies are full and our hearts are happy, sometimes our ears need a little bit of a musical guilty pleasure as well.

For me, there is a little bit of nostalgia attached to my musical guilty pleasure.  It’s one of the first bands I was ever really a fan of (and by fan I really mean, fanatic). What Miley Cyrus is to the tweens of today, the Dixie Chicks were to me.  I had all the CDs, posters, went to multiple concerts, met them and got autographs and pictures.  Looking back, it was ridiculous, seriously ridiculous.  The obsession eventually wore off, but today their music is still a guilty pleasure of mine.  To this day, whenever I play “Wide Open Spaces,” I am immediately transported back to the 13 year old girl, dancing and singing in my room, dreaming of what my life would be like when I grew up.  I cannot deny that they are an incredibly talented group, musically and vocally.  I’ll always be connected to their songs in one way or another.
