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

Where Were You May 13, 1966?

More songs from this year. I was finishing up freshman year at Fremd High School in Palatine. Actually, it was still a part of Palatine High School. Freshmen and sophomores went to Fremd, while juniors and seniors went to Palatine. They were getting ready to split nthe two schools into separate entities.

The following year, sophomores and juniors who lived in the Palatine district, went to Palatine, along with all the seniors. All freshmen and sophomores and juniors in the Fremd district went to Fremd.

In other words, I ended up being low man on the totem pole two years in a row.

My comments.


SECRET AGENT MAN-- JOHNNY RIVERS-- not a cover, not a cover.
SOUL AND INSPIRATION-- RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS-- "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" Part 2 or was it part 1?
A GROOVY KIND OF LOVE-- MINDBENDERS-- before Phil.
SHAPES OF THINGS-- YARDBIRDS
EVOL NOT LOVE-- FIVE AMERICANS-- Hey, that's love spelled backwards!!!

HOW DOES THAT GRAB YOU DARLIN'?-- NANCY SINATRA-- Kiss my boots!!! Part 2.
RAINY DAY WOMEN #12 & #35-- BOB DYLAN-- "They'll stone you when you're..."
GOOD LOVIN'-- YOUNG RASCALS-- Probably the best garage rock song ever.
KICKS-- PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS-- probably the second-best garage rock song.
DID YOU EVER HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND?-- LOVIN' SPOONFUL-- This song was the one Liz kept playing in the fall of '67 back when I had to make up my mind between dating her or Roxanne.

#1 Song in Chicago-- MONDAY, MONDAY-- MAMAS AND PAPAS-- Brother Coz's song.

That Was Only 43 Years Ago. How Time Does Fly. --RoadDog
