The 365 Commitment

My First Zeppelin Song

I remember the day. A friend of mine gave me a bootlegged copy of Zeppelin’s first few albums on a cassette tape. I put it in my car, hit play while I was driving. I had to pull over. It was like a religious experience. I had no idea what rock and roll or what music really was until that day. Transcendent.

Makes me wonder how many other experiences that are like that just waiting for us? What other firsts that are out there that we miss because of our fear or unwillingness to experiment with new ideas? The Lemon Song changed my view of the world. So many other times I have been changed by experience, what experience changed you forever? What ones will in the future?
