you are so musical! i love to see how music influences your posts, and this one, especially with the songs-other-people-haven't-heard-of and the quotes, which are obviously lyrics. must be cool to go see bands and be so cultured.

me, i just listen to the radio, and hum along if it sounds familiar. :)

i listen to the radio and hmm or sing along as the spirit moves me too :)

The quotes are actually from poems that I like: "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost and "Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen" by W. B. Yeats.

But you're on the right track as these poets were the the rock stars of their time (before there was such a thing as a rock star!)
