Feeling so high and low, it's the American Dream

Wow. Sitting through a Love and Rockets three-fer, listening to Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, Express and Earth Sun Moon, and I'd almost forgotten how much I love those albums. Even more so, how they inspired some of my more acoustic and meandering Flying Bohemians songs from 1989 onwards ("Lift Your Heart Up (In Your Hands)" and the once-recorded "A Dream of Someone" are heavily inspired by these, to the point that I think I stole a few of their riffs in the process).

You know, I'm 39, I may as well grow old gracefully by shamelessly embracing all the retro music I've been listening to lately. Never thought I'd admit to that, but hey--you levitate towards what you love most, right? ;)
