My favorite band of all time is The Young Fresh Fellows because they combine the musical styles of my two other favorite bands, The Beatles and The Ramones. The band has been around for decades and I have lost count of how many times I have seen them. A few years ago a tribute album was recorded. Several local, regional and even a few others (Robyn Hitchcock) recorded songs by The Young Fresh Fellows.
So I’m driving south down Interstate 5, crossing the Ship Canal Bridge. I got the kids and I have the tribute CD playing. As we crest the bridge, The Presidents Of The United States Of America’s version of “Rock And Roll Press Control” kicks in. In the distance we can see the Space Needle.
For my money, there couldn’t have been a more “Seattle” moment.
