wheres the funny?
Ummm i grew up on 50's/60's rock n' roll because of my parents...
My sisters who are 13 and 10 years older than me...the influenced Bryan Adams and all various 80/90's pop and rock...
And yeah by the age of 9 i then wanted to develop my own music taste and what appealed to me most was grunge and punk...
Then as the years passed i ventured into all different types of music from all different years...
And i still listen to what has been influenced upon me...but yeah i mostly listen to punk and rock these days...

Puff the Magic Dragon (Peter Paul & Mary {i think} )
Who ever that was-lyrics (trailers for sale or rent rooms to let 50cents)
well you get the gist.
next the Beatles came to the states (big impression) and that was when my love for music started taking root.
Growing up and being a kid in the 60's was (hmm. cant sum thatup in one word)
different, wild, whatever

stages of my life i got into later on or now

i sure never would of thought it, but looking back ive got such a diversive taste
in many types of music it shouldnt be to suprising.
I enjoy reading and hearing about other peoples history and taste in music and still on the lookout for anything new and different.
SMARTY SMARTY HAD A PARTY NOBODY CAME BUT SMARTY
I am laughing at the drug references. The first time I got really, really stoned, I was with a few friends and we listened to the Beatles White Album. I was like the kid in Half Baked who thought Jerry Garcia was in his head. What an amazing experience that album is. If you have never listened to it end-to-end, do yourself a favor and get a hold of a copy.
To this day, when I hear Dear Prudence I get this zoned out feeling..."Look around, around, around, around" with that George Harrison riff, at the end of the song.
I am going to put the White Album on right now. B)
