Just Peachy
"I want my MTVVVVV..." Back in the eighties, teenage distractions consisted of things like Pac-Man, Rubik's Cubes and of course – MTV. Fascinating stuff at the time but not addicting enough to have driven us into the abyss like we're seeing with so many of today's kids – but to be fair, we didn't have Play Stations, Twitter pages or YouTube. We couldn't even...gulp...text each other!
"Just Peachy" is about how all these distractions, though fun, can lead to an unpreparedness when it comes time to focus on achieving independence. With such a harsh wake-up call looming around the corner, will she be able to overcome the pull of the rabbit hole? Chances are she will. If we managed to get somewhere in life, so will she – even if MTV is now a podcast download.
