(For my A to Z Blogging Challenge 2013, I am going to share music - one song a day - that has meant something somehow to me in my life.
"Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James & the Shondells. . .
Fact #1) In the spring of 1998, I purchased the record (an actual vinyl LP) at a garage sale.
Fact #2) The record still works. When I have had a working record player - two of which I acquired at garage sales. At present I have one of them.
Fact #3) I liked this song long before I purchased the record. I heard it on the oldies station and fell in love. I was a strange teenager, I admit. I loved 60s music, too. This is kind of a weird choice for me, too, because I don't always like really slow songs. This one resonated with me for some reason. It might be about s-e-x, but that's not why I liked it, either. I have no idea except that it has always made me feel somewhat relaxed . . . something a person with anxiety who does not like alcohol or other vices (except for eating and reading) needs to relax.
My teenage heartthrob! How's that for dating one's self?
