19. "Free To Be You and Me"

Tue Mar 25, 2025, 07:24 AM

Mar 25

I listened to that cassette for years while growing up. It has some celebrities like Marlow Thomas and Allan Alda. It is about empowerment and feelings. One song starts out, "It's alright to cry....". Another is a skit about a princess. Her dad holds a contest to see who will get her hand. The boy who wins, allows her to be herself, go see the world and they can just spend time together and see if anything happens.

I can be truly happy on my own. These folks need a new set of values. I wish every child was brought up with that album.
