6. Freebird was the song a boyfriend used to break up with me

He was on Oahu, and I had gone back to Maui for a few weeks to visit my mom. He called, and instead of saying anything, he just played Freebird. I knew what it meant.

I think I was just 17 years old at the time. He was quite the player, as I recall. At least he didn't end up with the girl he left me for (we are all still friends actually, but live on opposite sides of the country). They actually did get married, but it was a disaster, and I'm sure he played Freebird for her too.

Ahhh, the memories.

I sent him the link to the video and the article (via his wife, of course!) I know he will like it, probably pull a tear or two (as it did for me)
