Music - The Cure

At the moment I'm in the process of uploading all my Cd's onto my iPod. Its been a bit of a full on experience as Ive been looking at Cd's that Ive not heard or even looked at the covers of for years.

Music has always been something that Ive taken very seriously and that I'm very passionate about, as most you know. So anyway Ive found myself listening to snippets of Cd's and artists that Ive not heard in years.
Memories are flooding back of lots of live music, festivals and of old friends.

So I guess that leads me to the subject of my post and where I'm headed with this little rant, an old Cure song came on and I had a great memory of driving round the coast in my Turquoise green Holden Gemini singing badly to The Cure with Sarah Roberts.

So what do you do when ya think of someone you have not thought about for years and wonder what the hell they are upto??

Ya GOOGLE them of course, now Ive known Sarah worked for Greenpeace and last I spoke to her she was heading off to the UK. So where is she now??

Put the words SARAH+ROBERTS+GREENPEACE into Google and ya get plenty to read about, it appears my old friend from the coast is still leading the charge in the fight against crimes against our planet. And she has been involved in plenty of the big protests and done things that have made people stop and think. Its been a long time since flipping burgers together, running amok at the Uni bar and standing front row at the Sonic Youth gig.

The point of this?? I'm not sure there is a point, my memory has brought me to here, Ive a number for the Greenpeace Australia site that I may or may not use, and I'm still wearing the silver friendship ring she gave me 14 years ago.

Should you hold onto things or let them go?? Wait for people to come to you or should you go to them. Should you throw out old music?? To answer that, the answer is No. Well for me anyway. My music holds part of my story. One that is important to me and who I am. Somethings are best left let go, and while that is hard, there are people in my life that I know Ill never let go of, we may not talked for weeks, months, even years but there is music out there that triggers a memory within me and I think of you.
