We now have a decent radio station in the DC area called The Globe. Some of the same DJs that were on WHFS are on The Globe. Each time I listen in, I'm sure to hear at least one song that either brings back memories or is something I'd like to listen to again. This morning I heard David Bowie singing Changes. I actually didn't know it was David Bowie until the DJ announced it was him. While I would not have guessed the singer, I knew it was him on some level (thanks to hindsight).
It was appropriate that I was driving past morning-weary teens on their way to school when these lines were sung:
And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're going through
Not even sure that song holds many memories for me, but my ears perk up whenever I hear it.
When Otter began her Dancing about Architecture blog after finishing her x365 blog I thought, there's no way I could find 365 songs about which to write unless all I wrote about was Dan Bern. I considered that, but dismissed it because it would defeat the purpose.
Then I heard Peter Gabriel's song Games Without Frontiers on the radio, thought of my history with that song and decided to join in the fun.
Be aware, most of the posts probably will be about Dan Bern and I'm not sticking to 50 words a post.
