Remember when Nick Drake's Pink Moon was on the commercial for the VW Cabriolet? It showed some happy youths driving under a night sky. I have to admit that it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling every time, and had an odd power over me. It influenced me to the extent of buying Nick Drake's Album Place to Be. I'm also pretty sure that if I had had the means, and a drivers license, I would have picked up this excellent car in a heartbeat because of that commercial. Now that's the power of good advertising.

A Pink Moon and a Nice Car

PS the CD is more than excellent and I don't regret buying it all, Nick Drake even now fills my world with happiness with his mellowly sung musings. I like it.
It really was a good commercial. It sure got my attention. Kind of like that advertisement for some soda with that guy dancing in his red socks. Catchy tune. "I like the way you move..."
I wanted that VW as well. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my time then driving around with good Nick Drake music. I still can't think of a better time.
Cars are nice, but not so much when they start sliding around at 1 in the morning. Good thing my car has four wheel drive.
I really still can't think of a better time. Convertibles are my favorite.
well maybe you should marry one
hey, I won't have that kind of language here, okay guys? lets keep it clean. Anyway, that is just one more reason to be way excited for the summer. Moving out, no school, cruising in Nikki's 80's convertible, making out....er, I mean making cookies. You get the picture.
precisely. The picture is engrained in my brain. I can't wait for school to be over. My convertible will be put to good use, I tell you. Good use. Driving and making out, you know, both of them.
hey no more talking of moving out. I am way to dang excited that whenever I think about it I get in my head that it is so close and I don't have to do anymore homework. And that is so not the case. It is hindering my learning I am so excited. I like you guys a lot.
If I'm ever in a bad mood, just start talking about moving out, and I'm almost positive I will be happy again.
(and that deleted comment was me, sorry)
Whenever I see a deleted comment I get so mad. I want to know what people are trying to hide. AR.
you'll never know....hahaha
that was an evil laugh by the way.
Okay, don't think I am crazy, I linked here from Debbie's blog--I am her oldest sister and it is midnight and I can't fall asleep so I am blogging--I love Pink Moon and yes it makes you want a VW, good thing I have two of them.
Don't know if you will ever figure out that I saw your blog. But happy times.
