Are You In The Mood For Music? A Trip Down Memory Lane!

What influences you to like certain types of music?

For me, it appears to be certain decades…perhaps memories, and certain sounds  of particular musicians. Certain poetic phrases or words stimulate a chord in my brain.

When I was younger, I just sang tunes without much thought, and loved to dance to rock n roll. These days, I listen and appreciate some artists more and more for the words to a song.

I grew up knowing many musicians personally, so I supported them as friends.
Boy George was not one that I liked until I met him, and when I found him intelligent, amusing, and genuinely nice, I became a huge fan. I had a crush on Eric Clapton, and he asked me for a date…its secret, I wont share.

When I lived in Italy I loved Italian ballads, in Turkey I loved the old Turkish music, so would include culture or geography in my musical taste.

For a ridiculous romance in Japan…. Maneater Daryl Oates…and I’m turning Japanese.

Daryl Hall & John Oates - Maneater

Kirsten Dunst - Turning Japanese

I would say some music like Who’s Going to Drive You Home by the Cars went around in my head forever. The KINKS with Summer Afternoon did the same.
