Over winter break in January 1986, I had four wisdom teeth removed. They were all impacted, so they knocked me out with some intravenous Valium. They put the needle in and said “Now count backwards from ten.” I think I got to eight….. I woke up with four teeth sitting on the bib covering my chest.
Bruce had his wisdom teeth out the same day. They evening I went over to his house and we mixed up rum smoothies, took our Tylenol 3s, and listened to music. He’d just gotten the new Inxs album. I remember being in his basement, stretched out in a La-z-boy recliner and feeling no pain, while this song played.
What You Need, by Inxs
What memories does this song make you think of?
