Freaky Flash back .. Brick in the Wall |
I'm driving my daughter home from daycare tonight and flip on the radio.
...Brick in the Wall is playing.
I suddenly have a flash back to being 17 year old senior in high school.
That song was part of the sound that spring and summer. I thought it was
"deep".
Now I think it is just an okay but not great tune. I never would have
predicted back then that I'd be a single mom to an adopted special needs
child.

I was a senior that year too. We rebellious kids voted it as our
class song. Or tried to. We were told any song that was nominated
would be on the ballot. But then the administration removed it from
the ballots, saying it was for our own good. So of course most of
us wrote it in on the ballot. The R&B song Ain't No Stopping Us Now
"officially" won.
So after all these years, after a song that went, "and there were certain
teachers who would hurt the children in any way they could"
I'm married to a teacher.

I like the song too, it was one of the first Pink Floyd songs that
I heard and I would play the whole album a lot back in high school... I
recently heard it at a casino in Aruba... It was Pink Floyd's only #1
hit, and it was banned at the time in South Africa, where it was used
as a protest song... However, it gets played too much on the radio,
along with various other songs... I wish the radio would play more
obscure, less commercial Pink Floyd songs...
