So, to listen to Nick and Dan's Bible Study podcast I signed up for Spotify.
For a while, I only used it for the podcast but, eventually I looked into the music part. I answered some questions about music and now it thinks it knows what I'd like to listen to.
It definitely got some stuff right. It gives me a lot of Eagles and Beatles and tons of Hank Williams. How it got to Carole King and James Taylor, I don't know, but that's right. I'm listening to Peter Frampton now, Jackson Browne, Crosby, Stills & Nash, okay. Glen Campbell, Fleetwood Mac, some.
It gives me lots of Allman Brothers, Van Morrison, Steve Miller Band, not so much. Tom Petty, Badfinger, meh. The Grateful Dead is not a habit I acquired. Same with the Boss.
And, it gives me a lot of Country that I don't want, but, some I take. I've gotten some classics: Okie from Muskogee. Interesting.
And, I don't like George Jones but it gives me, his He Stopped Loving Her Today. Do you know it? Every time I hear it, my eyes, at the very least, get misty. It's. So. Darned. SAD! Often, I outright cry. I remember some time ago, it was on, maybe the radio, and Evie saw me and she said, incredulously, "ARE YOU CRYING??!!!!!" I was. If you don't know the song, YouTube it.
It could have been about my dad. It could be about me some day. The difference is the guy in the song's love was unrequited.
It's amazing what can make one feel thankful.
