My dad and his wife were murdered by a maniac driving while high on drugs a few months back. I saw all the Eagle's talk in this thread today and I was immediately reminded of his favorite song by Eagles and James Gang member Joe Walsh. I dialed it up on Spotify to give it a listen for old times sake as my dad would hit it up on the Juke Box while we played pool once a week at our local pool hall during my high school years. Wow, it really hit hard and drew a tear listening to it initially but once reminded of the fun we had while playing pool to it and some other old tunes we liked, I added it to a playlist I made consisting of his songs. It's quite a range as he liked surfing music, Johnny Cash, the Stones, Yardbirds, Blind Faith and others but this song was the top of his list. I'll never forget him using his cue stick as a microphone, guitar, sword or bayonet as we listened to these tunes emanating from the jukebox at that pool hall that's no longer.
I don’t know how I missed this. That’s a life changing sad experience. Sorry you have to live that loss.
I understand looking back. I’ve lost so many, that each one types of movies or music, places. All triggers to us now. Personally I’ve put those mutual preferences to sleep, too many people, too many triggers. Just give them merit once in a great while. I’m pretty much down to documentaries and rock.
You’re welcome to vent on me any time.
Best advice I have, the waves will get smaller in time. Give time, time to work.
Take care of yourself.
BTW, tops my list of fav songs. Used to play it on the jukebox in the small town pizza place, eatings Strombolis. Had to be around 1973.
