from this thread:
Def Leppard was, is, and always will be bad ass. i have every cd and music video, my fav tune and video shall always be "bringin on the heartbreak" . it was me and my fiance's song, not for the words, but we loved the powerful emotion it conveyed. my fiance was killed in an auto accident, decapitated by a drunk driver. my friend and i busted our guitars out and played "bringin on the heartbreak" and "in time" by robbie robb(our other fav song) in her honor, but noone except her and my parents understood what i was doing, thought i was damning her. any way, def leppard is totally bodacious, i pray they don't sell out like most of the 80's bands these days

is it skepticism or is it that you're just tired of seeing them? It wouldn't surprise me that loss of a special person would trigger really strong sense of nostalgia and sadness when someone hears a particular song. I can't think of why someone would lie/exaggerate about this particular type of nostalgia.

ya exactly.
i just use the smell test.
i like to use stories that have specific interesting details, which also makes them seem more likely to be true.
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Monday, 29 October 2012 16:50 (eleven years ago) link
this is pretty specific (though, obv not from youtube).
killed in an auto accident, decapitated by a drunk driver. my friend and i busted our guitars out and played "bringin on the heartbreak" and "in time" by robbie robb(our other fav song) in her honor, but noone except her and my parents understood what i was doing, thought i was damning her.
― Poliopolice, Monday, 29 October 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
specific but... "busted out our guitars" doesn't pass the test for me.
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Monday, 29 October 2012 16:59 (eleven years ago) link
plausibility depends on whether they busted out their guitars immediately after the accident, feet away from the disaster

good entry
grew up in mn and that event and song has a sort of weird place in my mind, a sad legend that kind of haunts lake superior.
my parents had gord's gold on vinyl and i used to listen to it when i was a kid, that song had a lot of impact on me, it really felt like the world of music opened up to include the sad and scary and mythological events of the world...of course the song i hear now isn't necessarily how the song was to me at the time, but it's got a certain power still

[Golf Girl by Caravan]
@twohamburgers2 years agoI can't really listen to this song without crying anymore. It's one of my favorite songs of my entire life, but it reminds me to much of a world that is no longer able to exist, especially when it comes to artistry and music.
@Gino5651 year agoOh please. I’ve had enough of this ‘music was better when x happened”. There’s still plenty of great music being produced today, you just won’t hear it if you only pay attention to what’s top 10 on the radio.
@ZalMoxis1 year ago @Gino565 You have zero insight. It's the underlying feeling presented in this song as well as from most bands of the period. That period of music was an open book of exoteric projection of positivity and uplift whereas today's music is introverted, perverse and completely self indulgent. The majority of today's music is produced by a cabal of evil. Real musicians have been marginalised and the loss of the swing within the music through the use of computers has rendered it sterile in comparison.
@StoanPhrogg1 year agoI'm 29 but I feel similar. Found Caravan (and the Canterbury scene) in my early 20s when I was a college student and had so many quirky idealistic friends. It felt like anything was possible. I was best friends with a foreign exchange student girl who was so witty and charming and really got me to come out of my shell. Everything was interesting and it really felt like every day was a dream where you could be yourself and try new things and someone somewhere would understand. Anyway, that was only my experience, but I imagine that idealism and freedom (like the arrival of a nice springtime) is what life must've felt like for many young people during the early prog years.
