It sounds so pathetic and yet it is scary how similar my approach to social life was my first trip through college. “If I play this really loud someone will come see if I’m as cool as I seem”… brilliant!

Robert Palmer’s Heavy Nova, INXS’ Kick, Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby…..it wasn’t as out of place as it should have been.

the pure rebellion factor of listening to a song called ‘goddamned job’ sealed the deal (the deaper meanings came a little later). i suddenly started to understand what all the skater boys’ tee shirts meant. bands i used to have no idea about… the replacements, husker du, soul asylum… i started on the journey, but a little later than i would have liked. it wasn’t enough to “save” my high school listening. i was a weird mix of the rolling stones, rush, steve miller band, and then out of left field the replacements, jesus & mary chain, the alarm, and the clash.

the real journey didn’t start until 1991, when it became an obsession.

Remember hearing ‘When It Began’ and thinking ‘what happened to these guys???’

It grew on me quickly, though. Love Happy Town; feels sadly autobiographical.
