Yeah, so I did kinda blow this week’s post off – in order to hang out with a great bunch of folks with whom I was once in a band. We are getting together for a completely unrequested reunion show. I didn’t know you could do that, but we are. And here’s what we talked about instead of me writing a blog post:
Jose and I like this Cars song. Everyone else hates it. I think everyone in the whole world. Except Jose and myself.
Really, Pete? You thought this was OK to wear?
Speaking of abominations…
I still move my head tennis-style for the panning on this, maybe my fave Zep:
So not a lot of new ground covered amongst my cohorts this evening. There you go. That’s where my head was at musically.
I love “Drive”. Such a great, pretty, classy ballad. Madonna’s “Live to Tell” has a stellar (and well-deserved) reputation as the preeminent 80s ballad, but I’d put “Drive” up there as well. One of my fave Cars songs.
I love the Cars in general. I went on a month-long roadtrip with a friend in college, and while we generally were pretty good about listening to and enjoying each other’s disparate musical tastes, I think the Cars were the only thing we could fully and whole-heartedly agree on.
