Today I was driving to the local haircuttery to get my locks trimmed. While tempted by the mullet, so popular in Italy right now, I opted for what I like to call the ‘colonial cut’. Don’t get me wrong—I’m not wearing a powdered wig or anything, but I’m not going to say there’s nothing Washingtonian about it (how’s that for a bunch of negatives?). You know the one I mean—real long and thick on the top and sides, over the ears like earmuffs, and a little ponytail in the back. I’m not satisfactory on the ponytail aspect right now, but I’m close. I think I was all the way there until I got a little of it trimmed off.
But anyway: driving reminded me to report one of the great things about being in southeast Michigan, and that is access to two AWESOME classic rock stations—94.7 and 94.5, out of Detroit and Toledo, respectively (a word which Prof. Gaisser tells me is almost always unnecessary). So while on the road, I flipped over to 94.7 (I think), and ‘Heartbreaker’ by Led Zeppelin was on. I said to myself, ‘This is one of the greatest guitar riffs EVER.’ But then, right after that, ‘Living, Loving (She’s Just a Woman)’ came on, and I had to say the SAME THING about that song, too. Talk about rocking!
