I got out of work tonight at a little after 7:00. It was pitch black. Those of you who live in my "general vicinity" can attest to the fact that we had a spectacular light show (electrical storm). This of course, was accompanied by intermittent downpours in which I could see a mere 12 inches in front of me (and I'm being generous).
Lovely.
I generally LOVE electrical storms. I love thunder and lightening. I love it when it rains so hard you can't see anything. But, that is only when I am inside enjoying the view.
I talk to myself A LOT (shaddup OWW). And I was having some serious conversations with myself tonight. I've put in a full week already, and it's only Tuesday. I worked full days on both Saturday and Sunday. Not surprising for this time of year. I am tired. I am wired. I am ready to slap someone. Can you relate? I guess you may say I'm punch drunk.
Ok, I digress. Focus Moogs, focus. So, I'm on the road (most of it country, small amount freeway) when all of this was happening. The skies were lighting up, and the colors were vibrant. But dang, there was a lot of lightening.
Needless to say, it was a long ride home. In order to sooth my nerves before I could get home to some alcohol to self medicate, I turned on the tunes. Dudes...MUSIC ROCKS! I turned it up as loud as this old decrepit body could stand.
The song that was on was Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown. I was rockin. Seriously rockin. My fears subsided by the music. I was one with Leroy man. He was protecting me. He was bad! Ain't nothin nasty gonna happen to me with him around.
Appropriately enough, the next song was "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog." Dayum I love that frog!!!! (See reference to those who live in my vicinity).

Those are great songs. Now where are you?

Ha ha ha! yes the music can make you forget or take you back to a place where the Crocodiles Rock, and the bullfrogs are good friends. -smile-
