Music Monday – Warm memories
I don’t know exactly why this has been banging on the front door of my memory bank lately. I haven’t had cable for years, and I stopped watching MTV (or VH1) long before I quit paying for TV. I remember a bunch of us crowding in to a student apartment at college to watch the premier of MTV.
I think it’s funny that a song that didn’t really mean much to me at the time can so quickly evoke the faces, sounds, smells and fun of a time almost thirty (gasp!) years ago. (good grief! what a geezer. how did I get to be this old?)
Do the whippersnappers young people kids today listen to this the way I used to listen to 50’s Rock n’ Roll? A quaint old-timely sound? Who has my Geritol?

Oh my goodness! I have gone through my age issues already. Every now and then though someone will come up and remind just how much of an old geiser I really am. lol A young coworker actually had no idea what Purple Rain was much less saw it. Can you imagine!!!!!???

I still remember the first day my family had MTV. Please pass the geritol!

I really like the time period where I was born and grew up. I had so much fun being in my early twenties in the mid eighties. If that makes me old now, at least I’m happy in my decrepit age.
