Re: First song you can remember hearing
I had a music box that was a wooden cylinder with a painting of a rooster on it. It played "O Tannenbaum" the Deutsche Xmas carol. It had an atypical arrangement that has stayed embedded in my brain ever since.

Re: First song you can remember hearing
When I was in kindergarten I loved Paradise City by GnR. To prove the veracity of that statement, I also remembered liking Straight Up by Paula Abdul and I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That by Elton John. Soon to arrive was my Billy Joel phase. Oh and I loved Cadillac Ranch by Bruce, but I think that was a year or two later - my parents played Live 75-85 on road trips and that's the tune that stuck.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Either "tequilla" or "Twist and Shout". The latter made the greatest impression on me.
I'm so punk, I don't even take my leather jacket off when it catches fire. Which it does frequently, because of how fucking punk I am.

I'm pretty sure it was something off CMT...Garth Brooks or Steve Earl, or maybe George Strait.
Me mum had an obsession with recording the Country Music Channel on to VHS.

It puts me back in Mrs. Russell's second grade class and riding the bus. Everyone thought that "rodeo" song was so badass (especially the "It's that damned old rodeo" lyric). Garth Brooks.....I also remember concert footage where he would fly around stadiums on a wire at the climax of a show. God....I'm glad that's over

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Going to used clothing shops, you can now find plenty of those checkers-for-idiots shirts that he popularized (you know, four squares).Bankrobber wrote:Nothing brings back nauseating grade school memories to me like the name GARTH BROOKS.Suzanne H. wrote:...Garth Brooks

Cowboy hat, boots, tight jeans and those awful shirts...zooming around 40 feet in the air. He would take off like he was running and -whoose right into the air.
He's a local boy so we were subject to every scrap of Garth Brooks news.
