They don't have songs that "Take them back", like Drop Dead Legs by VH does me. Fleetwood Mac gives me thoughts of riding in my dad's chevelle listening to it on 8 track. I can almost smell the interior of the car. 1984 by VH makes me remember so many memories with my friends. Music is definitely a time machine.

I feel sorry for the children of today. They will never have that in their lives. It's not from a lack of trying, on my part. But as you said, we can't make them. It's a tragedy.

I hear you. It's a byproduct of being part of the Walkman generation. It seemed like I was always listening to music to fill the dead time. My kids and wife don't understand that I love my iPod classic and don't give a damn about having a smartphone! Blackberry is good enough for me and even that is too much sometimes!
