Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in iTunes and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today with a personal story about one of them.
- Walk Of Life - Dire Straits
- I Feel Alright - Screamin' Jay Hawkins
- High Priest of Turbulence - Terminator X
- Silent Night - Frank Sinatra
- Lonely As You - Foo Fighters
- Possibilities - Weezer
- Release - Pearl Jam
- Down - Blink-182
- Satan's Bed - Pearl Jam
- Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones
Back in 1987, there was a television show about the conflict in Viet Nam called "Tour of Duty". The first time I caught this show I was blown away by the theme song, "Paint It Black". My dad had the double album Hot Rocks on vinyl and I went to this record and "Paint It Black" over and over again. As time went on, I lost interest in The Rolling Stones, but to this day I still love that one track. The long forgotten "Tour of Duty" provided the spark and the fire burns to this day.
