Poor Alvin

Yesterday I drove nine and a half hours coming back from a funeral in the Dothan, Alabama area. I love Christmas music, so it was a blessing to get to hear it being played during the whole trip back home.

Here's the deal..........there is no way Mr. Bagsdasarian, aka David Seville, could have gotten away with yelling at Alvin the way he did in our ACLU world of 2004! Of course you know I am referring to Alvin the Chipmunk. That kind of yelling will certainly cause stress and trauma that can only be helped thru deep therapy and counseling. Alvin would have required it for sure, and Simon and Theodore would have probably been victims too, because of the collateral damage that would have been inflicted on them.

So next time you hear our beloved Chipmunk's singing, be glad they recorded in the 50's and 60's. If they recorded today and wanted to do it in the form of a "rap" filled with four letter words, that would be fine.........but you can forget the part where David yells out "A-L-V-I-N!!" Go figure.
