I was born in 1972 but with hippie and detroit rock n roll parents I was inundated very young. First concert at 3, fake ID by 14 solely to go see bands.
Also super grateful to the cute, nerdyish, record clerk with horn-rimmed glasses that hipped me to some of the more fringe new wave at a pretty early age too. I went there weekly to spend my allowance - I guess buying Pharoah Sanders & Velvet Underground at age 11 - let him know I was pretty open to new stuff
Being a band kid with a cool teacher helped a lot too. I guess I was always looking, but I certainly had to navigate my share of top 40 & the fusion jazz period my mom went through in the 80s - woah... Just made me push it further.
I quit Pandora after I started listening to FMU more frequently, but it did help me rediscover Bread. Or at least put a name to the songs, they're one of those 70s bands that blur together in my head.
Bread is so underrated. I think they are just about as perfect as 70s soft rock gets - and smarter than most. But I will admit I have a very high tolerance for 70s soft rock.
No worse than many of the genre - and remember I have a very high pain tolerance for that stuff. He's no Paul Williams. Happy New Year all! Thanks again. Until next week
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.
