When I was 14 or so, my best friend Lara and I spent pretty much our entire summer hanging out with her boyfriend Mark and his brothers, Mike and Scott. Every morning, we would get up early and ride our ten speeds 7 miles out to Mark's house where we would spend most of the day watching MTV or, believe it or not, helping Mark and his brother's chop wood (because they sold firewood of course). Every Saturday, if we had all of the wood chopped and the other chores around the house done, Mark's dad would take us all out to the delta to go watersking. Needless to say, I actually had a smoking hot little bod back then :-) That summer, Mark's brother Mike introduced me to Eddie Money's "No Control" album which became the music I used to test out and connect with any new car I would buy. In fact, it still is. Sound crazy? Well... maybe a little bit, but everyone has some secret good luck thing they do right? After I purchase and whenever I trade in a car, I spend the first and last 10 minutes with my car with Eddie singing as we fade to black.
I used to tell my husband that I didn't want to ever die before I seeing an Eddie Money concert, then he took me to see Eddie in an amazing concert(for an older guy) and I realized I needed to have something else I couldn't "die before doing" - something a little harder to obtain.
The 80's were an amazing time. Sametimes "I wish I could go back, but I can't go back I know."
