Again, I am trying to stay optimistic here... So I am writing about things that make me smile. Two things happen when I write these blogs: I smile, and some of you get to a: relive a story, or b: hear a new one. If you're in the latter half of that second part of the equation, feel free to ask questions as to what I am talking about if I do not clarify a story well enough.
With that said...
While driving to work today (and, oddly enough, earlier this week as well) I heard "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis and the News on the radio. (I read a poll somewhere a while back that ranked this at number 2 on the "worst songs ever" list.) Yeah, Huey Lewis (with or without the News) is funny. But they become funnier if you're Rachel, Roxanne, or myself.
A few years back after Roxanne's dad passed, the three of us were in the Provence basement going through some of Myron's old records. Roxanne comes across this beauty of a record, Sports, that included the solid hit "I Want a New Drug". I will forever remember the look on Roxanne's face when she pulled that out of the stack. It said many things. The strongest sentence her face would have said is, "WHY THE HELL DOES MY FATHER OWN THIS?!?". And if you know Rox, you SO KNOW that's true.
Needless to say, I laugh at HL&TN all the time. But especially during this special song.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I forgot about that. And I still have no idea why my father owns said record.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the time we used the record player to play the Wham! record? Fabulous.
