Day 129

#np - Juke Box Hero by Foreigner

One of the best parts of this blog is finding songs each day.  iTunes is my best resource for this.  Sometimes I scour the Top 100 list looking for a song to explain how I'm feeling or for a song that will wake me up.  Other times I use their song-matching features like Ping to find songs similar to what I own or what I've looked up recently.  This is when I find a lot of songs that remind me of my childhood.  It's not the words.  It's the classic rock feel of the song that reminds me of those car rides I blogged about in September.  My dad had a lot of these band's albums and they were a staple on our car rides.  I remember them annoying me at the time but now I just listen to them fondly and I'm realizing they're far better than a lot of today's music.  

That's a true sign of growing up, right?  When you decide "today's music" is lacking?  I suppose that's appropriate as the first third of my life wraps up (hey, I'm optimistic!).  Kids these days, they have zero taste in music. ;)
