It's funny though how certain songs can bring back memories from that time frame. For me it's Nothing's Going To Stop Us Now by Starship. It reminds me of my last weekend in Washington when I was 17 right before my parents moved to Montana.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-47290697350849369702009-03-01T12:22:00.000-05:002009-03-01T12:22:00.000-05:00I was living in West Africa when my brother sent m...I was living in West Africa when my brother sent me a tape of "Flood".

After college I stopped buying new albums and going to their shows, but I saw them twice in 2008 and they've still got it. Plus, they make great kids' music.
