Not sure if this is a good idea...

So for some reason I thought posting songs from a specific point in time would not have such an effect.

It was that last one..

Sin 34 - No Fun off Mystic Sampler Vol 1

That time frame is so emotionally fraught with so many moments that now seem to have never stopped.

I was reflecting on how I met the lead singer - Julie - at a meeting that was held onsite at Crossroads only to realize after who she was.

Only to come find out she passed in 2018. For some reason this is making me lose it.

Why am I affected so... why does remembering my past cause me so much grief?

It's not traumatic events... it's the emotional connection to a song and a time and place...

Music is huge for me... it's set the tone for my adolescent emotional basket case reactionary helpless fool that I am...

At 4 I distinctly remember Queen & Steve Miller - We Are The Champions & Fly Like An Eagle.

Later it was Michael Jackson.. Madonna... Billy Idol... Whatever was on KROQ from 1980 onwards...

Mid 80's it's punk, metal, - Vandals, ST, BF, DK, Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Ozzy, etc..

at 12 I hear Bauhaus - Siouxsie (actually 1985) - The Cure - Specimen - Led Zep 4, Slayer, Metallica, etc... Lots of punk at this time... so many compilation albums...
