jenna_thornSometime around 1992 or 1993*, I visited my grandmother, who greeted me at the door with joy and a shimmy dance because she had just discovered a brand new band, such fun, I had to come in and hear her new CD right then. She was sure that these boys were going to go big, as their music was so delightful.
So I came in, dropped my bags, and we spent some time bopping around her townhouse to Fat Bottomed Girls, singing along about making the world go around.
I had to give you that for context for this. I bought my first Taylor Swift CD yesterday. Fun music to sing in the car. And I'm tickled to hear the lines that were used as fanfic titles for a while there.
*yes, that's the timeline. I was the one to break the news of Freddie Mercury's death but we did go to the local used CD store and build her collection that weekend.
