leader of the band

dear dan diary,

why is it that everytime i mention dan fogelberg in a post people flock to it like seagulls? am i not the only lover of him? dan fogelberg- dan fogelberg- dan fogelberg... you are all under a spell... you are all now trixie patriots- each of you- go forth and spend hours kissing ugly people passionately- with your tongues. i think he was from galesburg, illinois- or peoria or somewhere- i dunno- i always thought that. everyone said i was a 'nerd' for liking his music, but the words went with the song man- and that's important. i was born after i should have been- and i know that. clearly i am older than i should be- but at the same time- i do not act my age. i'm lucky as fuck in the respect that when i tell people how old i am- they straight call me a liar. to my face. my son's friends thought i was his girlfriend- and that happened at the cracker barrel too. our waitress got a fat fucking tip. i grew up around the older generation- is what it was. so i got a taste of both worlds. i liked the flavor in my mouth- and it's hard to let that go. i ain't lettin  it go. so ima be an old school kid all my life i suppose. but i like dan fogelberg. idgaf.
