I Robot?
Turned on my iPod recently while folding laundry. What was the first tune to play? The Voice from the Alan Parsons Project's I Robot album.
The day before I had made a list of all my old LPs and 45s, with the intent of sending it to a few local stores to see what they might offer for my collection. My eyes fell upon the I Robot album.
That same day my cousin mentioned that The Alan Parsons Project was playing Ottawa this summer.
So what the heck is it with Alan Parsons all of a sudden?
Memory - sitting on the floor, leaning on my grandmother's bed, with my cousin. The Voice is playing and we have the inner sleeve of the album between us. On it are the words to the song and we are singing away - loudly, without inhibitions, without care.
As the years have gone by I have become more robotic. I don't sing as loudly, I have inhibitions and I care too much.
Maybe I am being sent a message?
