90s Chick Bands

Ok, I'm not completely sure why I have been on a 90s binge recently. I think it might be because I've been to a few 90s nights and enjoyed myself thoroughly. These songs evoke much more nostalgia than those of the 80s. I actually REMEMBER these songs coming out. So, on one of my more recent musical trips into the 90s, I went the female route. Here are some favorites.

Happy 175th Birthday Chicago

"It was October and a harsh breeze blew her along under trees without leaves, past houses with cold corners, past caves of the wind that were the mouths of residential trees. From that time until April, Chicago is an indoor city, where entering by a door is like going into another world, for the cold of the lake is unfriendly and not like real northern cold – it serves only to accentuate the things that go on inside. There is no music outdoors, or love-making, and even in prosperous times the wealth that rolls by in limousines is less glamorous than embittering to those on the side-walk. But in the houses there is a deep, warm quiet, or else an excited, singing noise, as if those within were inventing things like new dances. That is part of what people mean when they say they love Chicago.”

- F. Scott Fitzgerald
