A story unfettered from the memory shackles of youth during the Age of VHS.
Explored some memories of days gone by... really gone by... holy shit, has it been that long?
Another story inspired by a song. This time an epic, heard in concert, performed by the inimitable Neil Young. The song stuck in my head for years even though I didn't hear it again for the better part of two decades.
A podcast that's quite a bit different from normal, and not one I'm completely comfortable with. That said, this should be a place where I can take creative risks and let the chips fall where they may.
Celebrated Summer (Bob Mould)
Love and hate was in the air, like pollen from a flower.
Somewhere in April time, they add another hour.
I guess I'd better think up a way to spend the time.
Just when I'm ready to sit inside, it's summertime.
Should I go fishing or get a friend to hang around?
It's back to summer, back to basics, hang around.
Getting drunk out on the beach, or playing in a band,
And getting out of school meant getting out of hand.
Was this your celebrated summer? Was this your celebrated summer?
When the sun disintegrates between a wall of clouds.
A summer where I winter at, and no one is allowed there.
Do you remember when the first snowfall fell?
When summer barely had a snowball's chance in hell?
Was that your celebrated summer? Was that your celebrated summer?
When the sun disintegrates between a wall of clouds.
Was that your celebrated summer?
