Don't You Forget about Me—the song

Simple Minds. What can I say except that I love them? When I found the song on MySpace today, I nabbed it and didn't think twice about it. I've had some pretty awesome songs on my "space" since I started this site but today, I wanted one to take me back in time, to an easier place when things were just so "simple" and carefree.  Naturally, it made me think back to some all-time great events, music, people, books, and the list goes on. You know, things and people I never want to forget so I thought, "You  know, I bet I'm not the only one. I think I'll blog." Sounded like a good topic to blog about, don't you think?

My list of people, places, events, and things I want to remember would be far too long to include here but just this song alone brought back plenty of important memory-enticements so I thought I'd ask you to revisit the past too. Tell me something you want to remember for all time. A good book, an exceptional movie, something you know you'll only see once in a lifetime, just anything you can think of. Come on now, don't be shy. What is it that you know you don't want to forget or what is it that you don't want people to forget about you?

I want to remember a time when Robert Downy Jr. wasn't strung out on drugs and the character he portrayed in Less then Zero with heart-throb Andrew McCarthy was just that—a film character. It was a movie that came out when the worst drug kids tried in rural America typically wore a nickname such as Mary Jane rather than the Devil's Drug. I want to remember the first time I ever read the Little House on the Prairie books and how much I thought Laura Ingalls Wilder had the "better" life just because she had a cool loft bedroom. I want to remember all those faces that I've met throughout my life that inspired me in one way or another. I want to remember the greatest moments in sports, the best times in music, the biggest award winners at the Academy Awards and the list marches on.

Now, I'd love to hear from you! Tell me what you like to think about when you want to grab hold of your past and carry a piece of it with you into the future.

Until next time, keep it "simple" but always sexy,

Destiny
