I love my fiancee dearly but we do have different musical tastes. She likes whatever the hell they’re playing on commercial radio nowadays (that crap is so homogenous I can’t differentiate from one group to the next) and I…well I like other stuff. She finds my musical tastes “weird” and sometimes will good-naturedly give me shit about it. So the other day I’m listening to one of MY CDs that she hasn’t heard before and she makes some crack about how I should be congratulated because FINALLY I’m listening to something tuneful and “contemporary” and how it’s about time I listen to something “current”…
Slowly I cracked a grin and silently handed her the CD cover I was listening to. Big Star’s “Radio City”, released in 1974.
