Pete's Log: hook
Entry #713, (Music)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
I think one song that would definitely have to go on my top (some number) or whatever list is "Hook" by Blues Traveller. With any luck fair use will allow me to quote some of the song. Not like I've ever worried to much in the past:
"It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes"
... I bought the Blues Traveler album "four" at some point a long time ago, possibly while still in high school. And I bought it because I liked the song "Run-around" which was popular at the time. But as usual, I got lucky and found that I liked the rest of the cd as well. But hook always escaped me, I never really paid attention to the lyrics until sometime sophomore year. I was doing calc in the Keenan basement (most likely with Bill and Craig, as was the habit at the time) and another Keenan guy whose name escapes me right now was working in Zaland. I had taken over the cd player and put in four. And he went on about how awesome "hook" was and I actually paid attention to the song. I like it a lot. I need to listen to Blues Traveler more often.
