I went on a search for Dippity-Do hair gel recently and it was no where to be found. I even asked for it and the girl behind the counter didn't know what I was talking about. After describing what it was, she recommended DEP gel. Now, it doesn't really matter why I was looking for hair gel, especially Dippity- do, but it really drove home how the term, "out of sight, out of mind" rings true. Same goes for music. Yes, there is a shit load of great music now, but there was great music back then, gosh it's really not that long ago. Well, now Dippity-do has new packaging and so do some of these bands, but Damn, weren't those good gel days. Now excuse me while I let my hair grow to my ankles and roam free with what's left of the buffalo.

I loved it back then, and I still do. There are still songs that bring back those specific memories of where you once were in life. Just don't ask me where I am now.
