For instance, you may or may not know that the Wizard is a former Assembly of God pastor (yeah, yeah, I'm a PK and that explains it all...) So my earliest childhood memories involve Christian music, especially songs like this, this, this ("filet-o-mana!"), and even this... Then in college when my parents were dropping me off at college this made us all cry as we were saying our goodbyes, and this song I listened too over and over and over trying to understand what I wanted to do about college... lol
BUT - my dad and I have had many discussions about what he would label "secular" music - The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, The Beach Boys, even The Doors... (My dad knows good music even though he'd never admit it hehe)... Anyway, I say all that partially as a walk down memory lane for him, but also as an example of how music can tell you about a person and make for a common bond when its hard to find common ground sometimes. :-) I love ya, Wizard, even though we don't see eye to eye on most things anymore. Thanks for letting me be me - that means more than you'll ever know.
Also, that's why I post about music on here so much, cuz its little snapshots into who I was, who I am, and who I wanna be in the future... Lyrics are to me what Victorian poetry/literature was to repressed women in the 1800s - FREEDOM!
