That's okay. I only put it because I'm on heroin.

Seriousness aside, I know it's one of my favorites because I'll only let myself listen to it every once in a while. I don't want to get sick of it like any other song that I once considered to be among my favorites.

Wild Horses, on the radio in 1971. Me, 16. I bought the single, bought the album, and knew I had to have an acoustic guitar. I learned the song and have played it so much I know it inside out and upside down and across the fifth dimension. Something about that song still gets me deep inside.
