Default Deja Vu

Yesterday I went AWOL from the day job to help out an Indy who was snowed under with work...I was standing in the workshop with an Ironhead gearbox in pieces and the radio is playing hits from ages ago...Joe Walsh, "Life's been good" comes on the radio and I am transported back to 1978 when it was in the charts and I was standing in a motorcycle workshop with a gearbox in pieces...that messed with my head I can tell you....

Isn't it amazing how a song can do that? I can hear a song come on the radio and it takes me back and I can remember where we were, what we were doing, what she was wearing, (or wasn't wearing), it's almost as if you transported back. I love that.
