Lost in the past
It's 1996 on KFOG's "10@10" and I'm lost in the past again. Gin Blossoms "Follow you Down," The Wonders "That Thing You Do," Jars of Clay "Flood," Alanis Morrisette "Ironic," Wallflowers "Three Marlenas"...
I remember it all so well. There was still a swing scene back then. I remember who I was hanging out with. I remember listening to these very songs on the radio, driving with friends to go dancing in SJ or SF. Has it been 9 years already since then?! Doesn't seem possible. And yet it is.
And here I am back in the present, but wishing for the past. Today wasn't a very good day. Got some (more) bad news. Haven't I had enough bad news for one year?! And this is exactly why I wasn't going to post tonight, yet here I am. Yes, things could be far, far worse. I have lost neither home nor family nor friends in the Katrina hurricane tragedy. So I should stop whining, right? Right. And so I shall.

ah 1996-- i was prolly hanging out with Poulet that year in SF. Thems were the days... catching a show at the Kabuki, expiramenting with hangovers, walking up the hills.
To paraphrase Daniel Glass, "Ah yes, those heady days of the mid-'90s."
(extra points if you know who Daniel Glass is)
