Enough already!<\/p>\n<p>Sure, our readers who live in the tropics are wondering what the fuss is all about, but for us in the Northern Hemisphere? Let\u2019s just say that this has been a long, cold winter. I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m ready to bid it <i>adieu.<\/i><br><a name=\"more\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><br>Since I have no control over the planets\u2019 climate, here are a few songs that make me think of warmer places. Maybe you\u2019ll feel the same way.<\/p>\n<p>Everclear, <i>Santa Monica.<\/i> I don\u2019t need it to be endless summer, but hangin\u2019 in Santa Monica would do wonders for my mindset right now. I wouldn\u2019t even think the water is cold.<\/p>\n<p>Sheryl Crow, <i>All I Wanna Do.<\/i> Speaking of Santa Monica\u2026Los Angeles on my mind? Something like that! Sun would equal fun right about now. Besides, I hear the Dodgers are playing the Angels today\u2026Go Dodgers!<\/p>\n<p>Van Halen, <i>Panama.<\/i> Sounds like Van Helsing! I don\u2019t know much, but I know it\u2019s warm in Panama. Gimme us some heat! Oh, and I hear David Lee Roth is joining the band again\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Dick Dale and Stevie Ray Vaughn, <i>Pipeline.<\/i> Somehow I found a way to squeeze some SRV in here. A guitar duel with Dick Dale, who wrote this tune and made it famous. From the movie soundtrack of <i>Back to the Beach.<\/i> Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, etc. Warmth!<\/p>\n<p>Depeche Mode, <i>Route 66.<\/i> I don\u2019t care how much gas costs, or how long it would take. Because this road winds through all kinds of warm places, especially compared to Chicago (where it starts).<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Buffet, <i>Cheeseburger in Paradise.<\/i> Remember when you could use your grill? You\u2019ll be able to soon.  Have faith!<\/p>\n<p>Bob Marley, <i>Jammin\u2019.<\/i> Back when I was stationed in Malaysia, where it\u2019s warm all the time (unless you go to the Highlands), we played this song a lot. Nothing like reggae to help you leave wintertime behind.<\/p>\n<p>There, that\u2019s a little better, isn\u2019t it?
