Its 2:50 in the afternoon (probably the toughest part of the day for me) and I am at work reviewing cap statements online (about 10 times more boring than it sounds…maybe 100). Mom calls:
Me: "Hello"
Mom: "Hi! Guess what happened on this day back in 1984?"
Me: "Ummmmmm…let me think."
Mom: "I'm on my way to Marshall's and they just mentioned it on the radio."
Me: "Can I get a hint? Is it related to music in some way?"
Mom: "Yes"
Me: "Well, I knew the answer to that already, so I deserve a second hint."
Mom: "Its someone near and dear to you"
Me: (thinking its '84 so Elvis is dead, let's go with No. 2) "Bruce…the day that Born in the USA was released"
Mom: "Yep! You were 3 years old"
I think I'll give that album a spin in honor of its 24th anniversary. Bless Austin radio stations for being aware of such important dates in my life. Kelley mentioned that he might be playing Denver towards the end of the summer. If he does, we are going. I'll just need to work on getting the nasty arm-pit stains out of the vintage Courtney Cox Born in the USA tour tshirt that I bought on ebay last summer before then. Maybe it will increase my odds of getting pulled up on stage. I mean, I have the dance moves down from the music video so its not like I wouldn't know what I was doing.
