\"Beach<\/a>Back in the Scratchy 45 Days, <\/em>Mom had the single In My Room.<\/em> We liked it as kids but it was one of those songs that we like to make fun of. I don’t recall exactly now. It may have been the lyrics or the delivery. It was OK but not a dear to heart favorite like so many others.<\/p>\n

One of my Columbia House picks was Best Of The Beach Boys<\/em>. I can’t tell you why. Apart from In My Room<\/em> I really wasn’t too familiar with The Beach Boys. Something had to trigger it. I can’t believe that I would take a chance based soley on the strength of In My Room.<\/em>\u00a0 If you are a young person just beginning to collect your own music or you have young children who are just begining, I highly recommend that you keep some kind of Music Journal<\/em>. It may sound stupid right now and it will take some effort to maintain and update but when you are approaching 50 and can look back at the details of each purchase including dates, places, prices, motivations favorites songs etc, it will be a wonderful resource that documents a portion of your own personal history.<\/p>\n

So\u00a0I can’t remember why I picked it but I do know that this was yet another album that I played frequently and grew very fond of the style and all of the songs.\u00a0 Of course I didn’t know it then but my fondness for the Beach Boys had a hand in The Rise And Fall Of ’84.\u00a0 Does everything happen for a reason?<\/p>\n
