I thought I would start a commentary of some sort of my experience in music appreciation. No, this isn't the boring class of Classical Music Appreciation 101. This is more of a reminiscence of my youth listening to music. Okay, stop the yawning.
I'll start with Aerosmith, since that was a rock group I fell in love with at an early age. Yes, I liked Rag Doll
and Dude Looks Like a Lady
. Perhaps I'll comment on those and its effect as a kid taking an interest in girls on a later blog. But then again, my mother-in-law does read this blog.
Anyhoo, I thought I would start with Aerosmith's F.I.N.E. I couldn't find the music video of F.I.N.E. but I did find their performance at Woodstock 1994--which will somewhat help make my first commentary easier.
First of all, what was I doing in 1994? I had graduated from High School and thought I knew it all. I felt freedom at my fingertips, only to later realize that it wasn't real but a figure of my imagination. The Woodstock 1994 album was probably one of my favorite albums I got. In fact, I played Aerosmith's performance several times over and over again, because the transition from Draw the Line
to F.I.N.E to me was simply awesome.
Why did I choose to comment on F.I.N.E? Clearly for the lyrics. Did I know what an EMHO woody or a Whip crackin' floozy was when I was a teen? No. But now I do. Of course, there is the obvious acroynm for F.I.N.E. which is "F**ked Up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional."
Wow, the lyrics that were playing on pop radio and on MTV at the day were pretty risque. No wonder my mom use to make me turn off my music or change the channel.
