I still listen to a lot of those bands. It's been years, though, since I've heard Joy Electric.
Your music brings back a lot of memories. Fun!
That Iron Maiden song works way too well. ( from the title, I admit, I have no idea what the song is actually about.)
Very appropriate for birth, yes.
the title alone is great.
so have you ever drove around in your car and a song comes on and you imagine that they are filming a scene to a movie and you are in it and the song is the soundtrack?
if you havent... you probably will now.
Glad to know I am not the only one. Sometimes I am just out somewhere or doing something and I think, this really needs to be accompanied by music.
I need to value silence a little more, I think.
UGH! This week I am going!
