My Brain Won’t Stop Going On This Well-Coiffed Carnival Ride

The last time I was at the not-really-upstate-but-up-enough-for-me amusement park Rye Playland was some 15 years ago, and I may have had one of the most perfect syntheses of a carnival ride and the music accompanying it during that trip: I was on this inside version of the Scrambler that had flashing lights going off during the ride, and White Lion’s “Wait” was blaring throughout, its glittering fingerpicking shining even more brightly in the context of whirring around while being visually assaulted with strobes. Anyway, I’m trekking back up there tomorrow, and every time I try to make plans for it, “Wait” pops back into my head. I really hope someone there kept the cassette I’m thinking of, even though it’s surely even moldier now than it was back in 1993. [YouTube]
