Hold on for one more day

Wilson Phillips is coming out with a new record of cover songs, so to commemorate this event, I started thinking about the early 90's. I used to go back b/w Wendy or Chynna being my favorite band member...sorry Carnie, I was a shallow pre-teen. I wouldn't doubt if there were several times that I sang "Hold on" or "Release me" with my eyes closed and my fist clinched tightly- really "feeling" the music. I was also a "Fine Young Cannibals" fan, but I think this was my mothers doing (I think it was her CD). Should I be ashamed? Were they cool (by standards of the time)? I remember one time at a pizza party at Mr. Gatti's or something like that, I kept putting quarter after quarter into the jukebox to hear "Red Red Wine"....but wait, that was UB40...I'm getting my bands mixed up. The thing was f*ed up, so I never got to hear the song. Moving on...my brother and I used to rock out to Twisted Sister's "We're not gonna take it"- I was one rebellious 10 yr old in my neon pink lycra onesie. Then my mother confiscated it. And the defiance was over, back to Guns n' Roses. Paradise City...loved it. I wanted to go there. For me, that city was Shreveport, Louisiana- they had a water park. Not even a good one- all they had was one big slide and a wave pool. It was the crack addict version of a water park. Damn you Mom and Dad- why couldn't we just go to Dallas!
