Pat Boone when I was 4 or 5. My musical tastes have changed radically since then.
Lark, did you ever see Tom Petty in concert? Man, oh man did he put on a show! One of his songs was life altering for me. I loved Refugee. Then one day I heard the chorus as if it was directed at me ("you don't have to live like a refugee"). Can't explain why it struck me that day after years of listening to the song, but I realized I did not have to keep living like the beaten down, scared mouse that I was. It was empowering.
