Winter is starting early this year, with windstorms and snowstorms and lots of fun on the way. I mentioned a few posts ago about how we can so easily transport ourselves back with songs to times in our youth. Today's story is from 1985, almost precisely 25 years ago. It was the week of fall conferences, and I was wandering around outside while my parents met with my teachers. It was f*in cold, and I was wearing a plaid shirt and a blue jean miniskirt. A few days later it did snow, some monumental amounts pre-thanksgiving, which we haven't seen from then until now.
The song that ties then to now? Aztec Camera's "Walk out to Winter".
Walk out to winter
Swear I'll be there
Jill will wake you
High and dry
You wonder why
What does that mean? I have no idea. But goodness, I miss the 80s.
