My favourite colour

Pink.  Oh, yes, Pink.  Well, my wife often accuses me of enjoying pop videos (and, in days gone by, programmes such as Top of the Pops) because of the accompanying images of partly dressed and usually curvaceous young women cavorting across the screen which are in - her words, not mine - sexist and blatantly erotic dance routines.  Choreography as pornography, in other words.  Not true, says I.  I enjoy Pink because of the catchy tunes and funky often socially relevant and contemporary lyrics.  Ditto Rihanna, Girls Aloud, Jessica Simpson, The Black Eyed Peas, Eliza Doolittle et al.  The attractive visuals that often accompany such fine pop music are a bonus, eye candy nothing more.  With the exception of operatic tenors, it is well known that I favour the female over the male voice.  Check out my vast cd collection for evidence of this.  The female to male ratio for singers is easily 10:1.  This applies throughout the musical genres and across the ages.  Now before I start to sound defensive, I'm going to stop there.  Oh, and if you're wondering, the picture below was chosen because green is my favourite colour, symbol of new growth, regeneration, and so on.  Why, the Hindu god Vishnu, who 'bears the weight of the world', is often depicted as a tortoise with a green face.  Need I say more?
