What is it that stirs up memories for you? Is it a place? Some people say it's smell. It has a special connection to our limbic system and maybe that's it.
All kinds of things can trigger memories for me. Music is pretty near the top of my list. All I need to do is put on The Rolling Stones album Tattoo You, or Emmylou Harris' Roses in the Snow and I'm right back in 1982.
It's hard to believe that Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Roxy Music's "Avalon", Prince's "1999", Toto IV, and Duran Duran's "Rio" all came out that long ago.
What brings back your memories?
