Sometimes things should be left in the past.  The draw of nostalgia can be strong, but should not always be acted upon.  For instance, I deeply regret watching a rerun of "The Dukes of Hazzard" a few years back.  The show was more fulfilling viewed through the eyes of youth, I'm afraid.

Back when it came out, "This Time" by David Meece was in my heavy rotation for quite some time.  Pretty sure I rewound the tape (almost certain it was on tape) repeatedly to just play that one song because the rest of the album didn't approach that level of sheer awesome.  I don't recall the train of thought that brought "This Time" to my mind earlier this afternoon, but brought it was.  "Man," I thought to myself, "that song was killer.  I wonder if it would pack the same punch all these years later?"  Or something along those lines.  So off I went to google "David Meece This Time".

Sadly, I ended up finding this instead of just an audio track of the song.  Now we'll never really know if the song holds up, because, while it still sounded OK, I guess, it's pretty tough to get into it when you are watching that haircut bounce around.   Oh well, for each such disappointment, there are probably a handful of nostalgic feelings that lead one back to something that's actually worth revisiting.  The music of Rez Band, if you remember (or ever heard of in the first place) those guys, holds up surprisingly well, given the collective volume of their hair when they were touring, for example.

But, in the interests of science, if anyone has a ripped version of "This Time" that they would be willing to send me, I'll try to erase that horrible visual from my mind and give it another listen or two.  (Won't be holding my breath, though.  That album must be 20 years old, and like I said, we had it on tape.)
