I have to be at work very early this morning for the dreaded brunch shift. So I woke up at the crack of dawn, and then I Made Wise Use of My Time. I Made Smart Choices. That’s right, I sat on the couch and played lego star wars with Malcolm. I was Boba Fett, which is cool, because I had a jet pack (!) but it was very discombobulating because all of a sudden I was fighting Boba Fett, and I didn’t know which one was me, and then Malcolm was Boba Fett. What a tizzy! And now, since my scheduled start time draws on apace and I’m way too old for a tardiness scolding, I’ll keep it mercifully brief. Much as Boba Fett has many incarnations, as we go through life we progress through stages of being. From mewling and puking infant through reluctant schoolboy and to, well, I can’t remember all the rest. And all of these stages can be brought back in an instant with a few notes of a song. Our history folds in on itself at the sound of a melody we listened to incessantly in our younger days. People and parties and jobs and long days of school all come crowding back to us in the form of a familiar refrain. So for this week’s interactive playlist, we’re asking you to pick one song from each decade of your life. Don’t over think it! It doesn’t have to be your favorite song, or the one you listened to the most. Just the song that first comes to mind when you think of a certain time in your life. Leave it in the comments, or add it to our playlist, here.
