Song of the Moment
I had such a good laugh the other day
as I was driving in the car...
when "this"... happened to me...
yet again!
A music connection!
It's still SO cool when it happens!
And I'm finding that it's absolutely unavoidable
to run away from "these" moments
even if you wanted to!!
For me...
they're still happening...
whether I want them to, or not,
and...
I turned sixty-fucking-five
this year for goodness sakes!
So I'm guessing that most of these
ridiculously fun and unadulterated
music connections will be with me until
they lock that lid shut!! LoLoL
And how cool is that!!
I hope they NEVER leave my memory bank!
Well, we ALL have such great memories
connected to certain songs... right?!
In fact I posted another entry here awhile back
about this song connection thing called
But I wanted to give you guys a chance to
share YOUR fucking amazing
memories AND connections!!
These songs that we've been listening to
over the years make up our lifeline...
our time here upon this earth!
Most memories are SO much fun and uplifting...
but I also have connections that
that are much more deeper
and yes... much more darker...
as we all do!
But that connection...
man... it means SO fuckin' much to me...
just as yours do... to you!!!!
So start sharing your thoughts and memories
of your own incredible song connections!!
We wanna read about that shit!
I'm gonna start us off
with one of my own...
and if any of you out there
wanna share "your"
amazing connections...
just email me the song name and story
and I'll post it here.
Or just post your memory
down at the bottom
in the comment section!
Cheers muthafucka's!!
I'll get us going... with this simple gem.
Just think of the movie Wayne's World
while reading... but with this song
instead of Bohemian Rhapsody!
I think they stole that scene from us LoL
For me...
ANYTHING from
Pink Floyd's perfection...
... slaps a huge smile
on my fucking face
because of this moment!!
For me...
my first very thought
whenever I hear this song
from this incredible album
is this...
... after I graduated High School in June of 1979
from Port Richmond HS...
Floyd released THE WALL on November 30, 1979.
My friend's and I were 17 / 18 years old...
fresh outta school and had the world...
in the palm of our muthafucking hands!!
The classic memory for me happened
shortly after the album was released.
I had about 8 of my friends packed into
my very first car...
a 1970 Pontiac Tempest...
also known as the doors mobile!
Pretty fuckin' cool right!
I did it all freehand!
Well... we were driving up Forest Ave...
when all of the sudden...
just as we were passing what is now
the Real Madrid restaurant
and the cross-street of Union Ave...
in the Mariner's Harbor section
of Staten Island...
... came on the muthafucking radio!
We just all freaked out!!
Especially my friend Robert Nierenberg...
who was our local rock 'n roll burnout.
He pretty much knew every single thing
about the music we listened to before ANY of us!!
(( Rest in peace brother!! ))
And even though the album just came out
we all knew... and sang...
every fucking word of that song
start to finish!
And also...
not a single drop of beer
was spilt in the process! LoL
We were fucking awesome!!
We were just on top of the world
at that moment in our lives...
just as everyone of you guys were!
What a fuckin' great age that was huh!?!
And that one moment just knocks me out
still to this day whenever I hear
Comfortably Numb!
Actually... ANY of the songs from that album
brings me right back to that amazing moment
in time...
fresh outta school...
not a worry in the world...
packed in that car with my friends...
all of us drinking...
and singing at the top of our lungs...
" I..................
have become...
COMFORTABLY NUMB "...
while holding that steering wheel with one hand...
and that can of Budweiser in the other!
Fucking... PERFECT!!!
And yes...
society in general
was WAY different back then kids!
It was too fuckin' good!
And too fucking bad...
because yes... you missed it!
This one silly memory...
this one ridiculous moment in time...
always makes me feel like that
18 year old kid surrounded by his friend's!
Just because of one song...
I will remain a 18 year old...
for the rest of my life...
in mind... body... AND heart... because...
"I have become..."
So how about you???
Any amazing connections
to a specific song or album???
