I went through a several year phase discovering Cure and Depeche Mode favorites for having hung out with a particular female - and much bigger - fan of both in a favorite bar back in the 90s.

I was rather amazed I'd somehow not chanced upon them sooner, as I was already 30 by 1991.

Then again, I went through a rather religious period in the early 1980s, which knocked down - and set back - my "worldly" music intake considerably. By the time the likes of Nirvana and Pearl Jam broke though - had all the merciless absent-hood of the vacuum of deep space.

So to me, the 1990s felt like torrential downpours of nutritional sonic bliss.

Of course, that doesn't mean I experienced it to the Nth degree, as of course favorites vied for repeat mode.

I suddenly remembered I wrote/recorded a song about the female mentioned in the above.

See... I had a 16-track digital recorder in the late 1990's, leading to my writing/recording a bunch of stuff that, together, I wound up calling "Greatest Hits - 1999". I will admit there's a somewhat "beginner-ish" sound to the recordings. But they remain dear to the heart....

I called this song "Fuck the Rules", because I was married to someone else at the time. Never "consummated", mind you (although, interestingly, we did "Indian leg wrestle" once, and when we were exhausted of that I actually said "Did we just have sex, or WHAT?!"). But I'm rather susceptible to guilt, so just sitting in her apartment shooting the shit while sitting in her bathroom as she performed her "transformation" for going out (cosmetics) is possibly something I'll regret to slight degrees the rest of my life.

Anyway... have a listen, and I do hope you enjoy (assuming I got the access shit correct...):

Fuck the Rules

(Huh, that's right... I'd intended to add a guitar solo, but never did....)
