(not that long ago, i know, but still) most of them have a specific memory attached. i hear it and i remember sitting in holley baker's driveway talking about boys and one of them pulls up with that song playing on the car radio... or driving home from school with mike/alex/andrew in the wagon (because for the longest time mike was the only one who could drive) with the windows downand weezer comes on and we'd turn it up and all sing along. (that's the answer to your sing-a-long songs... gotta love weezer, especially back then when the blue album had just come out)... anyway, mike rolled his eyes and made that "yeah, whatever" face at me, clearly not believing that a song could recall ONE specific memory. so i made him a cd of songs from that year and TOTALLY proved my point. i thought maybe he'd think twice before he made that face at me again... i was wrong :)hamptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282833246715249998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344994.post-59934237479773653052007-01-30T10:37:00.000-06:002007-01-30T10:37:00.000-06:00Although you and I are from different generations,...Although you and I are from different generations, I'm with ya on the angry music. An occasional song of angst can be cathartic, but all the time? How is that uplifting or enjoyable? I have some good memories attached to Jackopierce, Third Eye Blind -- I miss the late 90s!Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05771030905124319931noreply@blogger.com
