Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Songs From the Summer of '71-- Part 9, August 1, 1971: 'Sweet Hitchhiker'

Nothin' finer than going back fifty years ago and doing some 'membering as happens with this show by Bob Stroud on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM, the Drive.  And, we still have one more coming on Sunday, September 5.  That will be his final of four installments until next June when on the first Sunday he'll do the Summer of 1972, another college year for me.  And, those college years were a WHOLE lot of fun for me.

GET IT ON--  Chase    Horns, we need more horns.

RESURRECTION SHUFFLE--  Ashton, Gardner & Dyke   Too bad stations don't play this song more.

STATESBORO BLUES--  Allman Brothers

INDIAN RESERVATION--  Raiders   What?  No Paul?

SWEET HITCHHIKER--  CCR   As I've said before, my favorite 60s-70s band.

RAIN DANCE--  Guess Who

IT'S TOO LATE--  Carole King

REASON TO BELIEVE--  Rod Stewart

AQUALUNG--  Jethro Tull    Really?  Heavy Metal Grammy?

RIDERS  ON THE STORM--  Doors   Poor Jim was dead when this song came out on the radio.

DRAGGIN' THE LINE--  Tommy James    The number one song in Chicago this date.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Eying Little Girls With Bad Intent.  Snot Running Down His Nose."  Answer below.  --RoadDog


"Aqualung"
