My Musical Evolution – Part 166 College Intermission Cargo

Men At Work CargoAs you already know. I had Cargo back on Space Mountain. It was still fairly new when I got back to Indiana. Listening to Blue For You or Settle Down My Boy would make me sad and miss my friends in Vermont.

Other tracks were starting to get airplay on the local radio stations. It is for that reason that songs like Dr. Hekyll & Mr. Jive, Overkill and Upstairs In My House seem to belong here in College Intermiassion.

I don’t want you to think that I was moping about in the fog of some heavy depression. While it was true that I was missing my old life. I was still enjoying myself. It was a pretty major adjustment though. Video games had replaced Dungeons & Dragons and going to the mall replaced the trails through the forests. I tried to hike around the local park but it was not too satisfying, still I liked being in the park because it was the closest I was going to get to my green mountains.

As I tried to adapt, I would wonder what life would have been like if I had gone on to UVM like Adam and some of my other friends. Would I have ever come back to Indiana? Would a career take me someplace else?  It wouldn’t be long before I’d shift away from music like Men At Work embrace the madness of Heavy Metal.
