Renegade by Styx




TRIBUTE FOR UNCLE BLAINE.

In honor of my Uncle Blaine, this Classic Rock (not to mention 80's) song has been absolutely STUCK in my head since Sunday when my cousin Dani first played it to me while we were compiling music for a slideshow to play at the viewing. This playlist consisted of such artists as Styx, Journey, Toto, Boston, Kansas, etc. CLASSY stuff. Seriously. I know Blaine loved it, and now his kids adore the stuff too.
Sadly, we opted for hymns to play in the background instead . . . probably the more reverent choice.
And really. Look this song up. It's AWESOME.
PS: The last three words I ever heard my Uncle Blaine say were ," Party on dudes!" from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Some words to live by. And really, if you think about it, those words can be applied in such a way that they were advice to keep on moving in life, not be bogged down by sadness or grief. So party on. Dudes.
