It's Been a Wild Ride, I Wouldn't Change a Minute.

 Welcome Back! If you read my last blog, thanks for following along and I hope I can keep your interest with the first actual entry about the music of 311 from the ears, heart and mind of an excitable. This month I put Uplifter on my turntable and set the needle to play the first track on the album, "Hey You".  In my opinion, Uplifter is such an underrated album.  I could listen to it on repeat again and again, but we'll get to the rest of those songs another time.  Today is about "Hey You".   "Hey You" is a hidden gem.  When I hear a song for the first time, I listen to the beat and the mix of all of the instruments together.  I was a pretty involved music student through all of my school years, I studied music in college and I really grew to love the different types of music that stream through my headphones day in and day out.  I listen to 311 more than any other music in my library, but there are many out there that are 311 Music Experts!...
