When I was a teenage misfit in my beachy-country-westie hometown, I got really into Cold Chisel in a big way. (Okay, so maybe not such a misfit after all.) Their music grabbed me at sixteen and it's still grabbing me today.
I think when I was a squeaky-clean youngster it was all about the promise of a life that seemed so grown-up and a bit grubby. It appealed to my Vader Side - that reckless, wandering side of me that has always been there and would later be brightened occasionally by hard drink and loud music and late, late nights.
These days it's just that I know their music so well that I think I'm in the band.
What music makes you nostalgic for your youth?
