blue jeans

I used to not wear blue jeans too often, because... you know... everybody wore them. So I had a lot of corduroys. I don't care so much anymore, and now wear them regularly.

Sometimes music just sounds stupid too. I mean, I never listen to it in my office, but sometimes I'll pick up the guitar and play a 'g' and... I'll just hang 'er back up on the wall. Or if I'm in the car, I may turn on the radio and... I dunno, sometimes it just sounds stupid. Like, what point does it serve.

But then there are other times.

I heard Blue Jean Blues today - off ZZ Tops' "Fandango" album. This is not one of my favorite of their albums, but it is one of my all-time favorite songs. It's one of those that shouldn't be covered by anyone else. Maybe shouldn't even be done live. It's one of *those* songs. I've always had a thing for simple songs, especially the blues, but this one takes my mind back to another era. I worked many a day in a gas station, and always looked forward to coming home to my very favorite blue-jean girl. Even when I didn't wear them, she has ALWAYS looked good in a pair of faded blues. And still does. = )
