80s pop and new wave- Ms. Hoover
Disney, Backstreet Boys, Shania Twain- Me

Who is your favorite singer or groups or song and why?
Barry Manilow- Mrs. Abramovitz
I like Macklemore, I don't really know why. Thrift Shop was weird to me at first, but now it's one of my favorites, just because it's so different. -Me

What music reminds you of someone you love? Your child? Spouse? Parents?
I Hope You Dance, kids- Mrs. Abramovitz
Michael Jackson makes me think of my mom, because she really liked him. She said when she was pregnant and his music would come on, I would start kicking a lot, so I guess I liked him too.- Me

Do you go to concerts? What concerts are memorable to you? Why?
Yes. The most memorable concerts are outside.- Ms. Hoover
Not really. Most of the concerts in Springfield are country, and I usually don't feel like a six hour drive to and from St. Louis or Kansas City. -Me

What radio stations do you normally listen to in you car? Do you sing along?
None, I listen to my own music.- Ms. Hoover
96.5, but I'm starting to get sick of them, I'm looking for different stations. I don't sing or dance, but I like watching people in my mirrors who are dancing. - Me

Which group or artists was "controversial" or "offensive" to some when you were growing up? Is any music offensive to you now?
KISS, because they had makeup and showed their tongues.- Ms. Thater
It seems like anything new is always considered "controversial" until something else comes along. I have a lot bigger things to deal with than being offended by music.- Me

Which music or artist to do you really dislike or refuse to listen to?
None.- Ms. Thater
People like Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus. I don't listen to their music and I really don't like them as people. There are a lot of better things to listen to than their music.- Me
