You know how some songs, and not just Dead songs, transport you back to a certain time and place whenever you hear them? Maybe you didn't even like them at the time, but three notes and there you are driving back from the beach when you're 16, or whatever.
And some songs just come to embody a particular time and place forever after.
What are yours?
Todd Rundgren. In the throes of my first teenage-getting-dumped experience, I NEEDED to get another woman in the worst way...
by the loveable Ringo Starr. and maybe Pat Benetar performing,"Love Is A Battlefield".
It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry
by The Eagles. Don't know what brought that one to mind.
WILD THING---------- The Troggs! Jimi Hendrix works too.
THE best drag racing tunes:
"Pushin Too Hard "& "Mr. Farmer"
da Moody Blues Days of Future Past, love the whole thing. Down by the River, Cowgilr in the Sand Neal Young, do magical things.
Ditto that!!!
