Comment:

This started out as being a supplement to the crock pot all of us got Dad, because, hey, it's a crock pot. Soon, though, believe it or not, making this tape become exceptionally hard for me. We always listened to music a lot in the car. Because he was always commuting to come see me. I never saw him a lot, away on business and that, and then when my parents seperated, you know, I still rarely saw him. And when I did, we couldn't make conversation anymore. Didn't know each other well enough for that. So the background music was always more than background music, because I grew up on all of that. Awkward silences were filled with these songs. And man, you know, James Hetfield's amazing in that song. You know, Cat Stevens became a crazy monk. Our family, our world is falling apart around us. But goddamnit, does Jimmy Page ever play a rad lead guitar.
