Day 5: A song for a road trip
(+1 for female artist, total of 8)
Road trips aren't really a thing in Sweden, mainly because it's tiny. The entire country is about the size of California, and 60% of it is basically... nothing. So, getting anywhere doesn't take long at all. I think the longest I've been in a car was 2, maybe 3 hours at most.
Those shorter trips were frequent in my youth, though. An hour here. An hour there. And every time we drove, my stepdad would introduce me to a new band from his time. It sounded so mythological to me. His time was a time other my time.
He was Swedish, born and bred, and had lived through music I could never have dreamed of. We burned through his tape collection. When we ran out, we bought a boombox capable of playing CDs and had it screaming at us from the backseat.
Rock, punk, pop, funk, jazz. I'd whine at him, jazz is junk, but he insisted that it was an era I had to know, to understand what came after. I was annoyed. It sounded like five musicians each playing their own song, simultaneously. I never did come around to Jazz. Sorry, dad.
But punk. PUNK! My word. It was unlike anything else. It lit a fire in me! Ramones, Misfits, Stooges, Pistols, Clash, Dolls... Too many to count. Then came the newer bands. Distillers, Sleater-Kinney, The Licks. We'd scream our lungs out in his old Volvo, trying and failing to match the energy of these incredible, strong-willed musicians.
Short songs for short road trips.

Day 5: A song for a road trip
For somebody who was pretty much a homebody, looking back I racked up a whole lot of miles.
Molly Hatchet ~ The Journey
And holy shit, I swear I love women! I really, really do!
And yet, here I am stuck at a total of 2 pts with 5/31 attendance.

No bonus points today. This song played the first time I visited a friend. At the time, she lived two hours south of where I live now. It became my go to for long driving after that.
+5 total for the month so far.
