#347 with Kurt Morris: Razorcake Podcast
Years go by and I keep getting older (as is often the case). At some point I turned that corner of being annoyed at hearing older people say, “It’s amazing how fast time flies,” to finding myself saying, “It’s amazing how fast time flies.” The days lead into months that lead into years and before you know it you’re into a career and thinking, “So this is what it’s like to be an adult.”
Despite the march of time, the music endures. Sure, some tastes change, but I still listen to a lot of the same music I was into fifteen years ago. I’m also finding new music. It’s all good. As the years go by, I still enjoy punk. It saved my life and continues to renew a fire inside of me every time I listen to something that sounds out a chorus of dissatisfaction with the world.
Here is the last of my trilogy related to the calendar. The theme for this episode is songs with the word “year” or “years” in the song title. Enjoy!
