Just about anyone who likes music invariably has an all-time favorite song — not necessarily a “greatest song ever” candidate, but just that one tune that, if it appears on the radio on your evening commute, you’re not changing the station, or if it pops up on whatever streaming service you favor, you’re not skipping it, even though you’re hearing it for the 138,476th time.
For me, it’s Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” From the day my older sister Andrea brought home an “Appetite for Destruction” cassette tape and popped it in her boombox, I was entranced.
