The soundtrack to Empire Records lived in my five-disc CD changer for five years in the second half of the 1990’s. It never left, never got changed out, was always in rotation.
I’m in an empire state of mind today, meaning, to me, that I’m living in the past and not in the now.
This is only a bad thing if I have successive days like this because there is so much in the now and present that needs my attention.
But every few months I think it’s totally fine to go back to 1995 in my mind and just stay there for a little while.
I can’t wait for Rex Manning Day. I think I’m going to have watch this again for the umpteenth time this weekend.
