Well, the missus and I never used to put the pedal to the ground, and we never closed our eyes and pretended to fly, but we did use to love to ride around with the windows down (yeah, it's generic, but that doesn't mean it's not great), drinking cappucino, music almost blaring (until I was told to turn it down), and sometimes we'd listen to Hanson and their wonderfully chipper and full California harmonies, their upbeat tone, their just-this-side of bubblegum marriage of pop and rock. You know what? We still do. Or at least I still do. Sometimes. Taylor Hanson can still bring the soul and sing the lights out of anything, and the brothers' sense of melody and harmony and light rhythm is as impeccable as ever, and in this one, they ride that strumming acoustic guitar into the sunset, around it, and back home again. They mention my wife's name in the title, too, and as for Penny songs, this one's much better than Lionel Richie's "Penny Lover" (and slightly better than Moe Bandy's "I Love You Penny"), and guess what...tomorrow marks eleven years of wedded...uh...marriage. Happy Anniversary, Foot Foot! This one's for you!
