| This was a REALLY great post. Thanks for writing it. Jim reads the board but I'm going to send him this by email as well. BTW - Bat Out Of Hell is still my "all-time favorite" song too. I've laughed, cried, loved, lost, lusted and lived with all of the others but nothing WAKES me like the first few notes and first few lines of Bat. To me, that song is what bells are to Pavlov's Dogs. xxx Jacqueline...in the "tolling a bell" zone > I was reading Jacqueline post about the great driving > songs and it got me thinking (it hurts man) certain songs > always have a special meaning or connection in your life > It could be for inspiration, solace or the most common > reflecting on a past memory > Here are some of mine and the reasons why > > 1)Bat out of hell: For 30 years my favourite song of all > time, still gives me a buzz every time I play it, though > there was a period of about 5 years where I couldn’t play > it at all because the words were just so prominent after > my younger brother was killed in a bike accident > 2)For crying out loud: six girl friends and one ex wife, > this was our song > > 3)Two out of Three: For getting pissed one night with a > girl I was so in love with and suggesting this was our > song.
