John Mellencamp - Jack & Diane


Day Six: A Song that Reminds Me of Somewhere


Anytime this song comes on the radio, I am instantly transported to 2001. I am sitting behind a concessions stand in a metal folding chair at the Gorge Amphitheater. This was the only song I recognized during the entire concert. My 14 year old self was just feeling so totally cool for being at a concert, with boys (never mind they were my big bros basketball friends who didn't say a single word to me), wearing my faux Doc Martins and faded flare jeans.

It's amazing how music can do that.
