Vision Quest

Does anyone else remember this movie?

Matthew Modine was in the movie.

And he looked like this:

Madonna was in the movie.

And she looked like this.

This was her big hit from the movie:

I loved this movie.

How could I not? 

It came out when I was 14.

I had the soundtrack too.

(I was really into movie soundtracks back in the day. Sometimes I still am.)

Fella and I took a trip to Buffalo over the holidays and hit up the Record Theatre music shop.

That place is amazing.

It's huge.

And I found myself a new vinyl copy of the Vision Quest soundtrack for $1.99.

I still love it.

Especially this song:

I picked up some other golden oldies too:

I love vinyl.

I know that's such a hipster thing to say

but it makes listening to music 

an event again.

I think I used to feel music more when I was younger.

I think that listening to these records isn't just about the music

but about taking myself back to where I was

whether it was good or bad

it meant something to me.

And for someone who can't remember the lyrics to anything

I remember the lyrics to the songs I loved as a teenager

because I listened to them until they became part of me.

Sentimental?

Absolutely.

But who cares.

Still spectacular.
