Clocks changed.
Milestones passed.
We try to keep our eyes on the road ahead, but we best not forget about where we've come from.
And where we come from... is the Past.
When the Ronettes had their huge hit way back when, I wasn't sure about what I thought about it. Or them. The big hair. The outfits. The "bad girl" mystique.
Many years later I happened upon Be My Baby again, and was gobsmacked by the feral genius of Ronnie Spector's performance. Awareness and appreciation? Better late than never.
It's always a good idea to keep our eyes and ears open, but sometimes, it just takes time.
Know what I mean?
If so, let me know. Meantime...
