Inspiration

Growing up with parents who were teenagers during the eighties, I have grown up listening to the music styling of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Queen, Ozzy Osbourne, Madonna, Def Leppard, Metallica, and so forth. Some of my earliest memories are of my dad and I riding around in his blue Jeep blasting Lynyrd Skynyrd and singing my little four-year-old heart out to “Simple Man”. I have always been passionate about music. Not necessarily playing an instrument, but listening to music and discovering different types of genres. My room back home is filled with CDs ranging from Taylor Swift to Nirvana.

           There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not on the web searching for new and different kinds of music. It’s almost like an obsession; I know that I will not be able to experience every kind of genre and every artist but I can’t help it. Last year I took an English class about the 1960s and began to research Janis Joplin and Jimmy Hendrix, people I have heard about but never gave their music a chance. I listened to so much Janis Joplin this summer, I’m sure my parents were about to kick me out. I constantly am telling my parents that I was born in the wrong era, how I should have grown up in the sixties with Janis, Jimmy, The Beatles, and should have gone to Woodstock, or how I should have been the one living out my teenage years during the eighties. Heck, I listen to more of the music from that time than my parents and my parents actually lived through it! The reason I created this blog is so that I can post about new artists or bands I discover, share what I'm currently listening to, or to post whatever I feel like posting that day. It is my blog, after all! :)

Sincerely yours,

Amanda
