I'm finding there is a LOT of music that I used to be awfully fond of that I just never want to hear again. It's because I listened to way too much of it at one time, or it just didn't age well.

Sing it, sister. Once I got out of high school, it was so freeing to realize I never had to listen to Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, or Led Zeppelin again. (Also REO Speedwagon.)

Paranoid Schizophrenic Brother is off meds for 10 months--has a psychotic breakdown and has to be committed. Go figure that. Court order for forcibly medicating his has expired. Who has to call the case manager and try to get a court order is being handled by...

me. Oh, joy. I just hope my mom can get the phone numbers I need to make the calls in the morning so I don't have to cold call the mental health facility.

Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, or Led Zeppelin again. (Also REO Speedwagon.)

OMG, HDU??

Okay, I can't actually name a Led Zep song off the top of my head (Dean Winchester would be appalled), and I wouldn't know REO Speedwagon from a hole in the ground. But I figure if I love Aerosmith and Pink Floyd, most everyone does.

Although my love of Pink Floyd is pure Stockholm Syndrome from university. My next door neighour in residence was appallingly addicted.

I am so sorry, Cash.

Oh, Cash. Ouch.

Dean Winchester would be appalled

I'm calling him RIGHT NOW.

I actually heard "Going to California" the other night at the end of Entourage and I had an urge to get all my Zeppelin and play it.

Oh Cash, I'm so sorry, ugh what a mess. Vibing you for a quick and relatively painless solution.

Sending you support vibes to deal.

However, I will snap your head off if you say Legend is his best album.

Catch a Fire.

Okay, I can't actually name a Led Zep song off the top of my head

Not even "Stairway to Heaven"?

Oh, Cash, I'm so sorry.

In a sudden change of topic:

But I figure if I love Aerosmith and Pink Floyd, most everyone does.

You weren't forced to listen to them, ad nauseum, for your entire high school career, I suspect. (And afterwards, although the guys on my floor in college were more into CCR.)

I am clearly a bad SPN fan. But frankly I consider Black Rebel Motorcycle Club to be an even better soundtrack to the show...

Oh Cash, I wish you phone numbers and a minimum of bureaucracy.

David, I counter your trustafarians with my friend who interviewed Bob Marley and Peter Tosh for NPR, and remains a fantastic poet, despite all the prep/training he had to do for the interview. Talkin' Blues is one of the first things DH and I argued about, with good results.

I get a warm glow from certain Dead songs. Ditto for Bon Jovi. Early Dave Matthews (very early. Like $7 Wednesday night at Trax early.) And, now, MCR.

I am obviously not allowed to drive the iPod in the house.
