80's Flashback
Last night Sarah and I were driving down old Highway 4 from Beatrice to my parents' place. It was 'round midnight and the CD player was acting up so I switched on the radio. The first station I hit was playing a Def Leppard threesome, that is, three Def Lep classics.
When "F-f-f-foolin" came on I felt like I was back in the summer between 11th and 12th grades, hurrying home to make curfew, undetectably tipsy.
At that moment I found myself wishing it was another hour to my parents' place instead of 5 minutes.

Damn... you OLD!
Kidding.
I know what you mean, though. Every once in a while, I'll catch a song like Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It" or even (shut up) Live's "Lightning Crashes" and immediately flash back to the summer after 11th grade.
Of course, I will also occasionally hear "Always My Baby" and think of the girl that ripped my heart out... but that's neither here nor there.

I'm not actually as old as that makes me sound. That Def Lep song came out when I was in 6th grade. The radio station down there has just played the same songs ever since I was in junior high.
