Then I remember an advertisement on the radio for a concert playing over and over again with the beat of "Tusk" going on and on in the background--a song I also loved. But, like some of you guys, I didn't realize they were all members of the same band until the Mirage/MTV era, when I first saw Hold Me and was swept away by Lindsey! I think that's why it remains my fav FM song. And so the rest is history. And, dammit, I wish my mom was as cool as I am...I've already taken my daughter to 2 shows with me! (she's 7)
BTW, Amber, did you steal my cat? I have a Siamese kitten that looks just like the one in your sig!  |
haha, yes, i did steal your cat, and you can have him back!!! Okay, i'm sending him right now. He says "tell MM1 I'm sorry i was such a pain in the ass!!!"
I think it's cool, too, how we all pieced it together.
I never put the final pieces together until about 1993!
First there was 3 yr. old me singing GDW...
Then there was 8 year old me falling in love with Stand Back, trying to record it off the radio, never being able to, and never finding out the artist.
Then there was 12-13 year old me, falling in love with Seven Wonders - and hearing Little Lies on the radio every five minutes, not knowing they were the same band!
Then there's me in highschool, happening upon the Bella Donna concert on PBS, running to get my tape recorder for Stand Back yelling "that's it!!! that's the lady!! that's the song!!!Omigod, i finally found it!!!!" and recording EO17, too.
Then there's me playing that in the tape player in the truck all the time, still not knowing she was the GDW and Seven Wonders chick. But at last i had found it.
Then there's my friend getting rid of her tapes when i was 19, and giving me Tango, when i spotted Seven Wonders and yelled "Omigod!!!! there it is!!!!!"
Then there's me buying Timespace. Then Street Angel. Then the Green Album. that was probably 94-95. The rest is me rarely listening to anything else.
And there you have it.
By the way, that whole time, I never saw any videos...
Let the Saga continue.
