I recall having a childhood debate in 1981 with my good friend Robert. It was about Lindsey Buckingham's new song, 'Trouble'. My contention was that Lindsey's intro to the song consisted of him saying "doo a dee a fow" or some phonetic equivalent, whereas Rob quite rationally and correctly contended that Lindesy was saying "two, three, four". I can remember walking with him from my house to his house, cutting through my neighbor's yard, and him being almost exasperated that I would not concede his point. It is one of those memories that resurfaces every time I feel myself clinging to an idea too dogmatically, or looking down my nose at someone who is doing the same. If only I could hold all such memorable childhood lessons in-memory simultaneously. As it stands, I can only fit the really sentimental ones.
