Revisiting my youth

[ksmith]

Not quite 30 years ago (shakes head), I started college. August 1976.

Revisited my youth via iTunes and downloaded some Fleetwood Mac. Gold Dust Woman. The Chain. Silver Spring (aka The Stalker Song). A few others.

Almost 30 years. I can't quite wrap my mind around that.

Yes, I have that album, too. Same era, same shock.

I almost downloaded "Tapestry". Granted, this was junior high-era, but still...35 years or more? I knew the whole thing by heart. I haven't listened to it in decades, and still think I could recall most of the lyrics.

Even music from the 80s, which still sounds so fresh to me...it's all Oldies now. How can The Smiths be Oldies?

Oh, yeah. I know that place...

It's still one of the bestsellers of all times.

Yes! It amazes me how "Tapestry" hardwired. The only set of tunes I know better is the Beatles, in general, that because my older sisters played them constantly when I was a wee young thing, and they are now pretty much imprinted in my brain.
