[ChiciB1]

I Can See It Coming Through The Dark At Night, Oh Lawd, Oh Lawd!

1. my 18 year old just 'discovered' Sounds of Silence.....

(he is looking at me differently, and asking what else I used to listen to - ha)

2. My son fought me on music until he finally admitted

"yeah, I really like the Doors."

Now he wants access to all CDs to copy.

5. I have a 19-year-old daughter

who went completely crazy over the Doors about four years ago and bought every recording they ever made. I was so amused. She even had big posters of Jim Morrison all over her wall. I guess there's nothing sexier than dead rock stars.

3. My 16 yo is always lifting my CD's

And I let him! I know what a dearth of good new music there is out there, at least on the "popular" front. Last Christmas he spent $65 of his own money and bought me the Led Zeppelin Box Set...then promptly took it to his room and ripped all four discs to his computer before I even got a chance to look at it.

He's taken all my Cure discs, and loves the Ramones, too. I can't think of a single "new" band he listens to. I have about 600 or so CD's, so he's always digging through my stuff looking for discoveries. Good for him!

8. The first gift my husband's son ever gave

him was when he, the son, was in his early 20s. The gift was the Zep Box Set. Good taste all around!

4. MUSIC... from earlier years

have always been a GREAT way for me to "rationalize." Having lived threw the late '60's and '70's, I've gone from 33 1/rd's to 8 tracks, cassettes and now CD's.

Many of the words from those songs STILL apply today!

Amazing

6. I heard a local group cover

For What Its Worth the other night at a dinner club. It's as completely relevant today as it was in 1967. Gave me chills.

9. Ain't That The Kicker!

But as I said, It's a "fall back" for me! I probably should write the words to the whole song because THAT'S when it REALLY hits you.

People hearing WITHOUT Listening, etc.!

7. and "it's written on the Subway Walls ...and Tenement Halls..the sound

of SILENCE.."
