I'm listening to Our Time in Eden right now, the last album by 10,000 Maniacs. It came out when I was a senior in high school. I remember driving around listening to it on my tape player in the Honda Civic Hatchback (semi-automatic, mind you) with my friend Christian Uzzle. I really remember listening it to it one night when we were spying on someone outside a theatre one night. But I can't remember who it was. It was, however, the same theatre that I had to do 15 hours of community service at in order to satisfy some ticket I got one time. Can't remember why I got that ticket either. Shizz my brain has turned to pot. No pun intended.
We campaigned for the song These Are Days to be our senior song, but Today by the Smashing Pumpkins won instead. Hey I like the song, but "Today is the greatest day I've ever known"? That's a bit melo for high school. Who am I kidding, it was all drama. It's actually the perfect song to look back on fondly, smile warmly with crinkly eyes, and say man we were effing idiots!
