The iPod brings back memories: Boy George: the exact shade of burgandy of the carpet, the faux wood paneled walls in the back room where the 'hi fi' was. Madonna: falling off a chair trying to do that move she did in a video, in that same back room. The Beatles: boarding school, round one. REM: boarding school, round two. BoDeans: oh, true love (is a '76 Beetle). Jane's Addiction: first pair of combat boots Edie Brickell: first, um, well, Mom reads this. Cowboy Junkies, Sweet Jane: barns, barns, barns. Sweet Home Alabama: driving the Roller Skate (Suzuki Samari) with wet feet. Tori Amos: that first lonely apartment in the hood, Chicago, a twin bed. Billy Joel: Steph Every song of '89: David The Cure: Pete Sublime: Christopher Patsy Cline: driving in the Porsche with Dad (and once without him!) Paul Simon: the humidity of the south, road trip to New Orleans, AquaNet Elton John: the grafitti of "I love you Tiny Dancer", complete with stick figure ballerina, on a grain silo off Highway 151. Still the most romantic thing I've ever seen. ABBA, Dancing Queen: Friday night at The Cardinal, ten minutes before 10pm when the cover starts. I can't believe I ever wore a skirt that short. Georgia on My Mind: Genna's, the big move down south Peggy Lee, Is That All There Is: Making Mike cry Tina Turner: Mom, wearing jeans and sneakers under her full-length mink at the Pic n' Save.
