Music

Music is timeless and universal.  We don't all enjoy the same genres or songs, but music is in our genetics.  A song can bring back the most vivid memory no matter how long it has been since we last heard it...personally I have a laundry list of songs that transport me to points in my past both good and bad.  The artist who made the song can also evoke many memories themselves- Rod Stewart will always remind me of my mother while hearing Bush will make me cringe with memories of middle school.

So today while I had the radio on while in the shower, as each new artist came on, I realized that there are a lot of bands/singers that immediately evoke certain thoughts and memories no matter how many times I hear the.

AC/DC - How do you still have vocal chords after all these years?

Led Zeppelin- Everything you make is amazing but really I just wanna hear Stairway

Beyoncė- I just want to look like you

Red Hot Chili Peppers- You like California, we get it.

Coldplay- You are the white crayon of music

The Beatles- The 60's must have been so damn cool

Michael Jackson - I wish I could dance

Taylor Swift- The perky girl in high school we all wanted to punch in the throat.

Blue Rodeo - Molson Amphitheatre

Queen- Why God!?! Why did you have to take Freddie?!

Tragically Hip - Canada! Canada!

Kanye - What....a.....complete.......dick

Anything classical - I am so classy

Celine Dion - That damn Titanic song

Bon Jovi- Nice hair

Journey- I once briefly stopped believin'

Johnny Cash - Joaquin Phoenix

Mamas and the Papas- Ham Sandwich

The Eagles- Your dad

Neil Young- Suck it, Geffen.

The Smashing Pumpkins - "I'm Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins...I'm Homer Simpson, smiling politely"


My newest one came last night while watching Modern Family and Jay defended his use of 'Snoop Dogg' as a Halloween costume by saying 'I didn't even know who he was, I assumed he was some doggy detective'.
