LOL. I like Deacon Blues, for obvious reasons:)
Bama fans don’t consider A&M a rival but I can’t speak for A&M fans.
I’m like you in that my musical tastes are very diverse. I have a strange memory in that I can hear a song from the late 70’s or 80’s and it will bring back a certain memory, no matter how trivial. At the same time, I have problems remembering what happened yesterday, lol.
For instance, I can actually remember playing some of my older sister’s 45’s when I was in Second grade and my dad, who was the town police chief, received a call that my elementary school was on fire. The record I was playing was Andy Gibb’s “Love is Thicker Than Water”. I can’t believe I remember that. Every time I hear that song, I remember standing outside the school watching the fire.
It’s very strange how music can do that.
I have everything from Motown, Beatles, Be-Bop, Sinatra, Nat King Cole the list goes on. Thinking about what you said about a song triggering a memory....when Hub and I were dating “Summer In The City” was hot and that’s what makes me think of our courtship. Thinking back any old 60’s song could have done it but that one is burned into my mind. Your dad was police chief? My Hub was a police officer for 30 years, our son is a police officer as well as our son-in-law and our grandson is a jailer and when he reaches the ripe old age of 21 next month, he’ll start applying for different police departments. Small world.......;) BTW, “Love Is Thicker Than Water” by Andy Gibb is one of my favorite songs.
