the power of a microphone!

The other day I tried to watch the movie Bridesmaids. Tried is the key word. I should have given up right there at the engagement party scene where they fight for the microphone back and forth, but I thought maybe it would get better. It didn't. Anyway, it got me to thinking about how people love to talk into microphones. Hand even a shy person a microphone and see how they open up, or bumble around, but talk they will, since it gives them a sense of importance and status. To be the one with the microphone! And these days, really you can get a microphone at musicians friend for as little as $29.99, seriously! How cool and tempting is that! To keep one for your parties and maybe host a little karaoke night or two for the office friends. Anyway, back to microphones, everyone feels they look cool holding one, so why not make them feel special especially when you're doing some celebrating.
