When I hear Cult of Personality by Living Colour I always get taken back to eighty-nine when I was driving down highway five-eighteen. I was heading towards four-oh-five going in to Tukwila. It was going to be the first day of my fire cadet training with the Tukwila Fire Department.<\/p>\n<p>The song Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin remind me of driving my truck around the highlands after I got my license.

I remember her putting the record in the pocket of her vest. I remember when I got it back there was a scratch on it and I was very sad about that.<\/p>\n<p>It is strange how certain songs can take you to a very specific place in time and how for some reason those events get tied in your mind to that event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I hear certain songs they take me back to a specific place and location in time.
