Hey everyone,
Great idea Dunhill! I'll go next. Well I am just 22 years old so my history with the band isn't as much as you guys, although I wish all the time I would have discovered them when I was like 5 haha. My first memory of hearing a M&Ps song was when I saw forrest gump for the first time and the song California Dreamin that was played in the movie. My best friend at the time had an older sister who had the official soundtrack so me and him would always listen to it and we always loved the song and the name of the band. But I still had no clue what they looked like or any of their other work until I was in 7th or 8th grade I cant remember which. I just remember thinking how cool they all looked and being totally obsessed with the 60s which I still am. Anyways a couple years ago thanks to youtube and me finally getting an Ipod and having money to buy albums and everything, I got every single M&P album I could find. Then I became obsessed with all their solo work and got all their albums which made me appreciate and like them even more.
Its weird because when I watch videos of their performances and hear the music I almost feel nostalgic!! even though I wasnt alive at all I have that feeling. I've never had that with any other artist ive liked and I guess thats why I feel so attached to the band.. almost like I know them personally even though I never met any of them.
And thats how I became a M&P fanatic
