Music, makes the people, come together (Part 3)...

 Music Memories

When I was a freshman in college, I lived in an apartment in the town my college was in.  I had a little TV and cable and up there, they had MTV.  Back home (where I returned each weekend to do laundry and hang with friends), we had cable too, but no MTV.  We wouldn't get that on our cable system here for another 3-4 years. 

Anyway, I LOVED watching MTV  up at college.  It was still a new and novel thing: hearing AND seeing music at the same time.  I watched it almost all the time I had the TV on. 

At that point, the biggest group in the world was U2.  And also, at that time, the video MTV replayed over and over and over again was "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".   I can still see most of that video in my head even now, I saw it so much back then. 

And even now, when I hear it, like in the car on the way to work today, I flash back to my room up there in that apartment in college and I'm more than 35 years younger, and loving MTV and U2.
