My Single Mom Life

Most of my regular readers know by now that I am an infomercial junkie, I usually can't sleep, and late at night is when the best infomercials are on.
I've seen the infomercial for The Midnight Special at least a half dozen times now, and each time I see it, I am just singing right along to every single piece of music, I know it all.
Being adopted, I know nothing at all about my birth parents, I was born in 1970, and The Midnight Special ran weekly from 1972 to 1981, but I'm fairly certain my parents didn't watch this show as it was on very late at night.
It aired every Friday night right after the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and it was definitely not the kind of music and comedy my parents liked or listened to.

Maybe it's somewhere in my ancestry dna or something, that my love of this kind of music comes from, this rock n' roll, funk, the mix of music that hit the stage on this show, but it was definitely not from my parents like I said.
Mom listened to the local radio which was mostly stuff like Streisand and Boone, Sinatra, stuff like that, Dad listened to classical and brass, my brother was into the whole college music scene, and my sister was mostly a Deep Purple, Led Zep, and Aerosmith fan, so where did I hear all this other music that I really feel like I grew up listening to?

Oh man, I see that infomercial and I'm like, 'me wants it' like Smeagol and the ring, I start not only singing along to the music, but secretly coveting the item, and now I wants this dvd set very badly.
If you go and look at youtube, you'll see some of the performances by some of the most legendary bands to ever set a stage, it's awesome.
I really feel like I was born just a bit too late sometimes, like if I had just been born a decade earlier, I would have been a teenager during the time that all of these incredible bands were on tour and I could have gone to see them, I would have gone to see them, and I know that I would have been up late every Friday night watching The Midnight Special.
