BlogDJ memories, Part 2 - sponsored by SuccessButler.com

DJ Dave back with another memory from the HiFiWebGuy vault.

Today, I'm serving up a side order of Nazareth, entitled "Love Leads To Madness". This song, from the album "2XS", brings back two distinct memories....baseball and girls. Since we've already explored the latter topic in the prior post, we'll expand (pardon the pun, which we'll explain later).

The song, from 1982, was a rock staple from the group best known for their hit "Love Hurts". Evidentally, the topic of "love" makes Nazareth crazy. Well, in the summer of 1982, I was a batboy for the Phoenix Giants, AAA affiliate of the San Francisco big league team. Hanging around big league ball players does wonders for a teenage mind. So do baseball groupies. If this is starting to sound like a scene from "Bull Durham", you know what's coming next. Let's just say that in the summer of 1982, while Nazareth was playing in the background, and the Phoenix Giants managed only 3 base hits, I was the only one who hit a home run that night. My first home run. You figure it out.

So, live vicariously through me, and enjoy. And don't forget to check out SuccessButler.com - hey, someone has to pay the bills!
