I cant tell you how many times I've tried to get the local station by work to play this song....but it has been numerous. I have yet to hear them play this one down there...... (weird the beginning of this post I put here kinda sounds like the chorus to CSN and Y's "Southern Cross" for some reason....
I often find myself with a few lines to a song, that won't stop playing in my head..... over and over and over again and I get a brain fart as to the name of the song and the band that did it..... and it drives me nuts. When I start talking about the songs that I like, most think I am ~10 years older than I am.....
often more than "10 years after" they came out...
My brother Doug, is 9 years older than me. Back in 77 when he graduated HS (he got held back in I believe 6th grade it was) Doug had managed a Cheker (remember those?) gas station, as the afternoon manager while he was still in HS. I remember as a
10 year old, riding with him to the mall one afternoon, in an orange 70 Challenger. We went to Pennys, he took his savings from work, plus some money he'd gotten from graduation, and he bought an MCS "Component" stereo system, complete with Zenith Allegro speakers....I was along to help him catty it out to the car and help bring it into the house. Back then I remember if you had a "component" stereo you were "somebody". as opposed to one of those "all in one" units many of us listened to.... "Soundesign" I think they were?
Doug had recorded untold hours of the local (Chicago) rock station of the day via the cassette deck and reciever components of that stereo.
and I remember being threatened about busted fingers or something like that if I touched his stereo.... and the tunes of the day is still what Id rather hear on the radio even this many years later.....
