Don't judge my musical taste.
Eric Carmen's 'Make Me Lose Control' was on the radio a lot and it resonated with me.
I ended up calling the radio station to find out what song it was, and then learned that my mom had bought that tape on accident because she thought it was Eric Clapton.
Months later, on a camping trip with grueling hikes (to chubby young me, not that I am less chubby), I was singing variations on those lyrics as motivation to keep moving. Dunno what my Dad thought of this.
On this trip, my grandpa and step-grandma hiked in to say hello and have dinner with us, only to have my 14 year old sister (on her period) lean out of her tent to vomit on their feet.
Good times.
