Never thought I'd see the day...




I never really liked Neil Young when I was a kid, but my dad did. I would always give him a hard time about it when he'd make us listen to him. Now it's not as if he'd force us to listen to his music all that often, I guess mostly in the car. In fact that reminds me of something funny my parents always said about us kids while we were growing up. When we'd go on long trips my parents would bring their tapes and my older brothers would bring theirs too. If my parents would try to play their tapes we'd complain until they put one of our tapes in. Then we'd all fall asleep leaving our parents awake to listen to our stuff. Of course by the time we woke back up they would be playing their stuff again, and the complaining would start up again. Even when I was a kid I liked a lot of my parents music, some of the music took some time but it grew on me (like Neil who's now on the play list), and some I'll never like. That's right, I'm talking about you Joe Cocker, you suck and I'll never come around on you. It was actually a tough choice to decide which song of Neil's to use... almost went with "Cinnamon Girl", or "Heart of Gold", but decided on "Razor Love" for this one.
