Thank you very much, Daniel. Your opinion means a lot to me. I loved writing about a person whose life was affected by a song. I have a few of these types of stories. If people don’t hate this one too much, I just might try another.

Thank God I saw them live in 1978 and it saved me from falling for R.E.M.

Fantastic story Sonny! I love when people have stories behind songs that really make them feel something, from the highest highs to the lowest lows

Thanks, Mark! I find peoples’ connections to songs fascinating and wanted to share one. I couldn’t be happier that you enjoyed the piece. It encourages me to possibly share another.
