Rachel's Vital Music

I'm a transgender woman who has loved music for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories are of sitting on the floor and listening to 45's and 78's. Music is the essential part of my life. Over the years I made many attempts to make a list of my favorite music. In 2011 I came up with the idea of http://scotts-vital-music.blogspot.com and creating the list by posting a song every day. When I transitioned in 2015 and changed my name I created this blog to continue the project...

"Route 66" by Depeche Mode

Since the Cadillac Ranch appears in the one video for this song (at about time 2:38), I decided to include my photos of our visit there.

I remember thinking how cool it was when Depeche Mode came out with this song. I was still working in the Graphics Workstation department at Evans & Sutherland. I remember talking to my friend John Byer about it and he commented that somebody (I can't remember who, probably the composer?) was rolling over in their grave.

Anyway, I haven't heard some of these versions before, they are awesome! I love the video with the woman walking...

This video with the original Addams Family is fun:
