Changes

My first big hit was with The Beatles
Kept me up on pins and needles
Waiting for the next big thing
Man, could they just play and sing

Then I found the TV Monkees
I became a real junkie
When it ended, I was broken
Truer words were never spoken

Took a while, but tastes were shifting
Through the genres I was sifting
Jumped right into heavy metal
This was where I chose to settle

Purple, Sabbath, made my day
Uriah Heep was here to stay
Took a girl to their show
Was some fifty years ago

Now that girl became my girlfriend
Sparking a long romance to ne'er end
Eventually became my wife
Now forty-eight years of my life

Through it all was music constant
Seeing many folks in concert
Five buck tickets were the norm
Loved to see these groups perform

As the tickets got more costly
Concerts were left behind, mostly
Went a few years with no shows
Always sad we couldn't go

But the times they improved somewhat
Focused on those who made the big cut
Rundgren and Utopia ruled
They became my new crown jewels

Now today a number one fan
Try to see him whenever we can
Smack my head when some say "Todd who?"
What they're missing? If they only knew
