YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY:I'm screaming h-e-l-l-o to all of my fellow Jammers, on this cold & snowy day here in Ashevegas. The other day I put 200 new random songs on my mp3 player and just now got around to listening to them. As I was listening, several Beatles songs came on- Helter Skelter, Golden Slumbers & Octopus' Garden... but then I came accross You've Got to Hide Your Love Away played by Eddie Vedder. I'm not sure which show it's from, but I felt that it deserved to be shared today. You see, when I was really little, my father & I didn't get to spend an awful lot of time together... but when we did, it was all about the music. He'd "pop quiz" me in the car on the way to school to see if I knew who was singing whatever song might be on. And when we were home on the weekends, he'd spin his records. Elton John, Iron Butterfly, and yes, the Beatles. Hide Your Love Away is one of those very nostalgic songs that have become a small yet very significant part of who I am today. When Eddie covered it for the soundtrack "I Am Sam", it was like hearing it again for the first time... so so many years ago. It created a special & unique connection for me- I suppose that you could say that it bridged the past with the present, & brought my entire life full-circle.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I have over the past couple of years- and keep spinin' the black circle baby!
