Johnnie let's me visit Enter Sandman like I was 18(Johnnie W not mnemonic)  

I was listening to my 'van halen balance' playlist, for the rock/metal section, which i have almost never done ( i wonder why) ,  and i started playing metallica ...

it took me to the time when had one pair of good jeans, and one good white t-shirt with printed stuff on it,  when I had a passable cassette player, and had just graduated past boney M and beatles ....  rock and metal were a gateway to the magnificent magical vibe of electric guitars, speakers, and music that promised a world wrought entirely out of attitude and authentic strength. a world with music with rocks in it .... ,  far from the real world which put in boredom brick by brick, every minute every hour ..... 

I remember G with his stereo upstairs of S's house, with his cassette collection that I thought was literally heaven .... judas priest, stone temple pilots(core - the other album was experimental mmkay ?), anthrax .... Metallica was _just_ a gateway drug there ... Iron Maiden were posers with some good stuff ...

wherever I may roam ... we wrote this on soul paper deep within our minds, as we chewed through the days curriculum, roaming carefully amongst places we were allowed to roam ...

i wonder where this is all going, i wonder where my life strayed beyond repair ...

nowadays there's only talk of four bedrooms, and villas, and seven seaters .... 

as they said, sad but true....
