E is for Eurythmics

It was the '80's.
Music can obviously be a powerful tool when being creative.  Even back in my adolescence, when I'd spend a whole day creating and drawling super heroes, the radio would be on in the background.  Ok, it wouldn't just be on, it had to be on.  Music made the whole process...complete.

So I devote the letter E to Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart.  The Eurythmics.  I still find their music as compelling today as I did the first time I heard Sweet Dreams or Missionary Man or Here Comes the Rain Again or...you get the point.  Their music is a NASCAR pit crew for my creative drive.  It invigorates me.

I deeply regret passing on the opportunity for my wife and I to see Annie and Sting, in concert together, a few years back.   It would have been a Sweet Dream.
