Am I the only one who missed out?
I listened to anasheed. Lots and lots of anasheed and Qu'ran.
And Islamic lectures/talks. No music or tv (very rarely was I exposed to that sort of evil).
I'm having to discover for myself as an adult what music is around, what I like etc... so sick of being asked, "Where did you live? In a cave?"
My kids think it's hilarious that I grew up without music or tv. They think I come from the olden days 'cause back when I was a kid we didn't have CDs, we had tapes. Fortunately because I am learning about music at the same time as my kids, we have similar tastes.
I wasn't allowed to listen to music until we got the computer when I was about 15 and I could listen without my parents knowing, had to share the comp with older brother then too, oh also got a old cassette player from my aunt, and then my friend at school would make me copies of songs on a cassette XD a few times.
Used to occassionally watch top of the pops when parents weren't around.
Listen to music to your hearts content! Da_dude
I'm glad you're enjoying it now.
