this morning. Playing songs that I hadn’t heard in
what feels like forever even though I thought I’d never leave
them behind. You remember those songs from your teenage
years… </p> <p>My teenage years consisted of
hippie music. We called it hippie music anyway. It was folky, rock,
a little bit country… The Who, The Rolling Stones, Carly
Simon, James Taylor, The Eagles, Three Dog Night. I was crazy for
all of it. I don’t think a day went by between the years of
1980 and 1987 that I didn’t listen to my hippie music.
</p> <p>Of course I still listen to music today but not
like I used to listen to it. I used to blast it so loud I’m
amazed I still have my hearing. As soon as I would get home from
school, into my room I would go to listen to my new album or
single. Yes, we still had vinyl albums and singles back then. I
remember having a Queen single with <em>Another One Bites The
Dust </em>on one side and <em>We Will Rock
You</em> on the other side. I swear I played it until it just
fell apart. </p> <p>Now it seems like I only get to
hear music if I’m in the car. Every now and then I remember
to turn it on while I’m cleaning or working out. But usually
the television is on and honestly I just don’t think about
it. </p> <p>Today I did think about it. I played my CCR
cd. It was awesome. <em>Bad Moon Rising, As Long As I Can See
The Light.</em> Took me back to some pretty crazy but really
good years. </p> <p>What’s your favorite song
from your teenage years? How about band? I’d definitely have
to say my favorite song from those days is <em>You’ve
Got A Friend</em> by James Taylor. And AC/DC is by far my
favorite </p></span>
