The truth or something beautiful?

Jun 2012

The Spice Girls have reformed for something or other in the West End (forgive me for not looking into the details, you’ll get why in a minute) I loved the Spice Girls.

Theirs was the first concert I ever went to with my cousin and our aunt. I was in primary school, so about 8 or 9 maybe (can’t remember) & it was one of the best days of my life.

I begged my mum to buy me the album Spice for Christmas and when I actually got it, I was ecstatic.

I remember playing it all Christmas and nearly everyday after that. I had two t-shirts, those fan photographs and random memorabilia. I even went to see the movie! Yep, I was a proper fan me!

…and then they broke up. Went on solo. There were some good songs from some of the solo efforts, but it wasn’t the same. As I grew up, I discovered new music but I wished them well.

Then a few days ago…BLAM! A reunion of sorts. Not that that’s surprising since there are several ‘get-back-together’ attempts from bands circling music in recent times.

So, why am I bothering to write any of this? Because I refused to listen to the adults who would harmlessly giggle at mine and my friends’ loyalties to the Spice Girls back in the day. Because I remember the band as being awesome and colourful and musical and the songs being great. To me, they were five besties ruling the world and I want to remember that truth.

You know what though…It would be so cool if they proved me right and were still all of that today…
