Gish

I've been listening a lot lately to what I think was Smashing Pumpkins' first album. I'm pretty sure it was their first major-label release anyway. Gish. 1991.

We used to listen to it in the record store then.

I forgot how good it is. It has a lot of what is exactly right with Rock and Roll.

Funny thing is I parked next to a car at work that was the same model as the one my manager from that store drove: A white Ford Crown Victoria with a red pin-stripe.

At the time I drove a Suzuki Swift. He used to joke that he could put it in his trunk and give me a lift if I needed it.

I miss him.

I miss that job.

I don't miss that university town. Much. The one bookstore was fun, though.

Hmm. Another life...
