In most everyone's life there are events, people, situations, animals, etc...etc that seem to be related to with a Song....and when ya hear that Song it always takes ya back to your 'Memories'....this 'Thread' will be for 'Sharing' the Song with a Story....it can be funny, weird, meaningful, sad, or crazy.....no need to write a 'Book', but just the 'Incident' that is 'Sparked' by hearing the Song....ya don't even have to know the exact title or even the artist that sang it....but, a phrase, chorus, or some words that ya can remember, so that we all can get a Grasp of it.....and 'Chime In'....so, I guess I'll get it going....
There is a song that Dolly Pardon sings about a 'Coat of Many Colors' that her Momma made for her and the kids at school laughed and made fun of it to her....well, we grew up poor too and my Mom made most of my clothes...and there was a shirt that she made that I just really Liked and I wore it 'Proudly'....some at school made fun of it but I would still wear it.....there was a Bully of course that thought he was going to 'Rip it Off' of me....needless to say I ended up in the Principal's Office and got Licks for fighting....nobody made fun of it after that....I always think of that whenever I hear that song.
That is just one of mine....and I'm sure that ya have some to and would Love to hear them....

the wind set it back down after about 150'....but, it Bounced on the tires and right back Up....this time however, we reached that 'Point of No Return'....it was like one of those 'Frozen in Time' moments....we made eye 'Contact' and both of us had that 'Oh Sh*t' moment look on our faces.....it went over and seemed like forever slidding across the interstate and came to a rest right in the middle of the median...I was thrown out of my seat and was above Joyce in the curved roof of the cab....Joyce's rear was on the headrest of the driver seat...I realized the engine was still running so told her to cut it Off!!...she said she couldn't reach it....so I manuvered around and saw that the ignition keys were at her ankles and the seatbelt had her 'Trapped' so I reached the keys, turned it off, and undid her belt....when the cab hit, the windshield 'Blew Out' and the resulting vacuum sucked everything off the dash and out into the 75mph wind....we ended up clinbing out thru the front window and was 'Sprayed' by the wind blowing the dripping oil from the engine....we were Sore and Stiff...but, both of us were in 1 piece and no noticeable injuries except for the 'Whiplash'....only lost 5 marker lights on the trailer, but tractor was totalled....we lost about $5,000 in goods and cash in the cab....Joyces's billfold got caught between tractor and pavement so there were just 'Flakes' of leather, metal, and $$ paper left....clothes, tv, and video games were all trashed from liquid spills....fuel, oil, and fridge stuff....having just left Mom's she always loaded us up with stuff....this time she had given us 3pints of Fig perserves....they were Everywhere!!.....anyway, it took us 3days to be able to get out of that little town about 100mi E of Rapid City....so, there is a Song by ZZ Top called 'Master of Sparks'....when they were teenagers in Texas they built a cage out of metal....put a chain on it...loaded it up in the back of a pickup and one would get in and when truck was moving push it out the back and ride the Sparks....when I hear that Song I relive the 'Sliding' in the truck on that day!!...we laugh about it now, but it sure wasn't Funny at the Time....oh, and we didn't have 'Dirty Britches' cause I think our butts were too Puckered....
