Love and Rockets
When the brainy and beautiful Little Squirt actually was a little squirt she provided the family with endless hours of joy and entertainment. The summer she before she turned four, the Love and Rockets song, So Alive was pretty popular. Samantha (a/k/a Little Squirt) had (and actually still does have) the loveliest long, shiny brown hair.
One afternoon we were all at the family shore house in Wildwood, New Jersey. My brother was sitting in the living room, in our grandfather's chair with little Sammy on his lap. He was combing her long hair with his fingers and sang the first line of the song to her, "I don't know what color your eyes are baby, but your hair is long and brown..."
Samantha put her little hands on her three year old hips, twisted to look at him and said, "Chip, my eyes are hazel!"
I hope you've enjoyed today's anecdote, with it's bonus 1989 music video and original artwork, which looks a little creepy, even to me, the artist!
