I love my brain...

I was sitting in the bathtub tonight... as a song came creeping into my mind... That's the way the world go around.. So I went onto Kazaa... and found out who it was...John Prine...He's a folk singer... he has some awesome songs.. Mainly Christmas in Prison, Hobo song, Fish and Whistle,and That's the way the world goes round but these are all songs from my childhood that I loved very much..

Now this is a song from my childhood that my Father used to play all the time... I didn't know who did the song, so I spent a good 15 minutes or so searching for it.. and then it popped up... John Prine... he's more of a folk singer... Now I haven't been much one into folk music or country.. even tho I was raised on it.. but listening to that song just made my year.. it so reminds me of being a kid.. and the love I have for my dad and his taste in music... I guess sometimes you need little reminders of things like this to make your life better.. I can remember vividly my dad driving this tan little pickup truck and me sitting in the back of it with a kite going to Mount Trashmore (yes, it's a real place in Virginia beach..and me letting the kite fly a little off the back of the truck as we drove down the road... Ha.. being a kid.. man... I miss those days sometimes..

I think the human race would have killed itself off long ago if it wasent for music and all that it represents..and how it can do just what it did to me tonight.. Make me remember a time when life was new.. not bitter.. a time when it was innocent.. not tainted by the facts of everyday life... I highly suggest you check out John Prine.. even go buy the Bruised Orange ablum/cd/tape... It's a worthy cause.. it might even remind you a little about something you long forgot.. I know it did for me.

I am currently Better
I am listening to Fish and Whistle by John Prine
