Heyyyy man, what’s up? (just kidding!)
So I grew up in 70’s and 80’s and for me, music was much more than “just music”. Honestly, music probably saved my life. And it probably almost killed me too. In reality, I was the one that saved my life and of course it was me that almost killed me. Me that almost killed me? What kind of grammar is that?
The point is that music was there for every step. I woke up to music. I went to sleep to music. I ate, drank, had sex and partied way hard to music. It’s ingrained in me completely. Every one of those classic rock ballads has a specific memory (or memories) attached and when I hear those songs today it just takes me back. I can really feel it, what it was like on a specific day, sunny or rainy; happy or sad; drunk, stoned or sober. It just takes me back.
Don’t get me wrong- I’m not one of those stuck in the 80’s guys. I don’t have feathered hair, no acid washed jeans in the closet. Today I listen to all kinds of music, even rap, hip-hop, classical, jazz, zydeco, whatever (well, country is a bit tough for me to get into but at least I try). But that classic rock is my all, all-time favorite. Big fat guitars & rock-n-roll screams! Turn it up to 11 baby, cuz I wanna rock!
So this site is a fun way to pay tribute to the bands that got me through the good times and bad (you know I’ve had my share). I hope you enjoy it.
