One day when I was standing in line with the sufflaqe stand with my Albanian teacher, Ervin, Outkast’s Mrs. Jackson began to play. The group of volunteers immediately began to sing along.
“I haven’t heard this song in years,” I said.
“Here you will find many treasures,” my teacher told me. He wasn’t kidding. I’ve heard songs I haven’t heard in years and seen television shows that I forgot ever existed. Celine Dion and The Cranberries are two of the more popular artists that I hear on an everyday basis at random.
The finding of long-lost treasures here continued the other day. As I opened an individually-wrapped piece of gum, I discovered that it had something in it. What was it, you ask? Printed on wax paper, it was a picture of a very young Sting that must have been taken in the late seventies or early eighties. And he was shirtless in it.
The hunt continues. What else will I find over the next two years?
