Thinkin bout the times you drove in my car

thinkin that i might have drove you too far...

i was on my was back from getting my haircut when i walked by the burger shack that opened up next to the Capitol Grille, essentially across the street from the burnt husk of my restaurant here in Charlotte. they have an ecclectic playlist, mainly from the '60s and '70s, i can't complain, this is the classic rock rock that i grew up with before i thought that Top 40 was ok (mid 80s, gimme a break).

but i'm walking by today and "Badge" is playing, i come in earshot of it just as the bridge is coming between the verse and chorus, and it reminds me of different times. mid-90s, Kurt is dead, Ticketmaster, Neil Young, why should i care, OK Cola, and discovering music that no one cared about at the time. i like Clapton, and in the day he was, well, God.

of course i remember liking Journey at the same time, but these discretions i'll let fade into the sunset of my youth.

as an aside, i'm in Columbus this weekend, probably the ATL the following two weekends, and then back to DC. the times, they keep me a rollin'.
