More Nostalgia
Friday, May 2nd, 2008It’s always cool to rediscover an old tune that you’ve forgotten about. The other day I was talking with a buddy of mine and he started talking about older songs…and then he brought up a band called "April Wine"…they had a few hits but I think their most well-known is a song called "Just Between You and Me"…
So i iTuned the sucker yesterday and have been listening to it ever since. Man, this song is jammed packed with nostalgia. Hearing it gives me this crazy feeling …hard to explain. This song was more my older sister’s generation but I was the tag-along little brother who always kept my ear open to what they were listening to. I liked the song then, and like it even more now.
Funny thing about nostalgic songs…even songs I couldn’t STAND in the 80’s (mostly due to them not being cool enough) are the same songs i CRANK when they come on the radio today. Ya know, those early 80’s bands like Haircut 100, Flock of Seagulls, The Thompson Twins [So, what was the deal with that chick who only played the wooded block??? LOL].
Ooooh… remember those silly late 70’s/early 80’s "coming of age" comedies? Ah …maybe i’ll go out and rent "Up the Academy" for old time’s sake. They all were pretty formulated… i’m pretty sure you could watch "Caddy Shack", "Meatballs", "Revenge of the Nerds", "Porky’s" back to back and it would seem like 1 movie. I’m not sure I was old enough to be watching those movies back then but maybe that’s what made them seem "cooler"… Ok, I’m showing my age. Time to stop.
