Radio City

I have an old I-River MP3 player. I dusted it off this week. I bought it primarily to use at the local gym. The purpose was to drown out the grunts and groans that the muscle heads belted out during reps of lifting obscene amounts of weight. That was three years ago.

Two years ago the MP3 and I had journeyed from a combined weight of 216 down to 166. Yes, that is light for a guy who tells the lady at the Motor Vehicle Registry counter that he is six feet tall. Anyway, I’m back up into the 200’s and frankly a little disappointed with myself. By no means do I want to be as low as 166 again, but I’d rather not be working on all time highs either.

This morning I pulled the MP3 out of the drawer, threw it in the gym bag with a change of clothes, and headed to the gym. To my surprise I found the music still loaded to be relevant for workout inspiration.

To make a long story short, I just want to share with you the music that was nearly soothing to my ears.

Man oh man did Axel Rose have a lot to say. Have a look for yourself. The man was ahead of his time.

"You can't trust freedom

When it's not in your hands

When everybody's fightin'

For their promised land

And I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor..."
