The Monday Shuffle

iTunes

Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in iTunes and list the first ten songs that play.  Here are the ten tunes I heard today with a personal story about one of them.

  1. Walk Of Life - Dire Straits
  2. I Feel Alright - Screamin' Jay Hawkins
  3. High Priest of Turbulence - Terminator X
  4. Silent Night - Frank Sinatra
  5. Lonely As You - Foo Fighters
  6. Possibilities - Weezer
  7. Release - Pearl Jam
  8. Down - Blink-182
  9. Satan's Bed - Pearl Jam
  10. Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones

Back in 1987, there was a television show about the conflict in Viet Nam called "Tour of Duty".  The first time I caught this show I was blown away by the theme song, "Paint It Black".  My dad had the double album Hot Rocks on vinyl and I went to this record and "Paint It Black" over and over again.  As time went on, I lost interest in The Rolling Stones, but to this day I still love that one track.  The long forgotten "Tour of Duty" provided the spark and the fire burns to this day.
