Guilty pleasure music on a Fizziday
I've been in a sappy mood all week. Sappy moods require sappy music, and I haven't been able to get this song out of my head:
A friend suggested putting on Mom Jeans when listening to this, and honestly, I really have no room to argue. Still, I like the song because of the daydream it brings to mind. My daydreams are a lot like scenes from a movie, and the scene I see in my mind's eye when I hear this song is more than a little cliché.
I'm driving in my car, top stowed, down the California Incline onto the Pacific Coast Highway. Of course I make the light at the bottom of the hill, and curve right out onto the wide-open road. The camera pulls back as I drive off into a sunny morning in Santa Monica.
Cheesy, right? I know. But I love it, and I will re-enact the scene when I get there in June. I can't wait. I miss my home.

What song is this? I like it. It does seem very daydreamy.
You're going to Cali? Oooh. I'm jealous!!
I probably should have put the song title in there, eh? It's Fleetwood Mac, "As Long As You Follow".
I *am* going to Cali! I lived there for 9 years before I moved back to Minnesota (my original home). LA is my real home.
I thought it was Fleetwood Mac, but I was embarrassed about not knowing the song.
I've never been to L.A, but I've been to San Diego and San Francisco and liked them both a lot. I'm just not sure if I could live there. I'm terrified of the earthquakes. But I also know that natural disasters happen everywhere.
