One more thought on this. in 1980/81 I was in the 8th grade. I had just begun. My assigned seat in homeroom was right next to the biggest a-hole in school and he decided to target me. I went home and told my parents I wasn't going back.
We were all seated at the kitchen table, discussing it. My dad was trying to strike up a deal with me when all of a sudden, "Don't Stop" started playing in my head. Now, I'm not an optimistic person, but that song spoke to me then and there. "If you wake up and don't want to smile/if it takes just a little while/open your eyes and look at the day/you'll see things in a different way/don't stop thinking about tomorrow/don't stop/it'll soon be here/It'll be better than before/yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone/why not think about times to come/and not about the things that you've done/if your life was bad to you/just think what tomorrow will do" I recited it like scripture(I actually just typed that all from memory) and that was the trick.
I returned to school the next day.
That bully eventually found someone else to bother. I can't exactly recall what happened after, I know they sat him up at the front, which he [i]hated[/i].
This is how music becomes part of people's lives. Thank you, Christine, thank you.
