I understand now why it is so hard for most people to move on from various times in their lives. I was just sitting here browsing around my music collection and decided to put in Slippery When Wet just because I hadn't heard it since about 1987 or something like that. When "Wanted Dead or Alive" rang through the head phones I was overcome with a sense that rarely bothers to waste its time on me. I waxed nostalgic for high-school daze. I thought of all the good times in the various places and conditions I was in during that time. I wouldn't go back to it for anything but damn those were some kickin times. I get the same feeling from "Rocket Queen" too but I listen to that one more often because it reminds me of Tim, the only non-blood brother that I would still cripple you over, and I haven't seen him since the early 90's. I miss ya man, come and see me. I'll provide the Guinness.
So, like I said, I understand the difficulty but I cannot understand not being able to let go. I mean, come on, the music will always be there for you when you want to revisit that time. And yes I admit it, I listend to the hell out of some Bon Jovi. It's hard to have a truck load of girls when Slayer is cranking through the home speakers in the back of the old Blazer, LOL.
Here's to the good old days. I'm glad they're gone, but I miss the hell out of them sometimes.
And yeah, for one brief second, without reprocussion... I'd do it all again, in a friggin heartbeat.
GET TORKED!!
