This past Sunday, Bob Stround did Time Warps to March 3rd of 1965 and then jumped ahead to March 3rd of 1975.
March 3, 1965, I was an eighth grader at Winston Park Junior High School in Palatine, Illinois. And, I was getting some of my best grades ever as I had been moved earlier to the 8-1s, the top class as we were on tracking. I had always thought they were so smart, so I determined to do my absolute best and maintained myself with them in no trouble.
These were the songs playing on WLS and WCFL this date.
DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD-- Originally done by the great Nina Simone.
NEW YORK'S A LONELY TOWN-- Tradewinds-- their one and only hit
MIDNIGHT SPECIAL-- What with the British Invasion still in full swing, American artists were starting to get their footing again. This was later the theme song to a TV show in 1973 (featuring the bands and musicians, this being before MTV).
MY GIRL-- Temptations
I GO TO PIECES-- Peter and Gordon-- Del Shannon wrote it.
HEART OF STONE-- Rolling Stones-- "A" Side Getting bluesy
WHAT A SHAME-- Rolling Stones-- "B" Side
When You're the Only Surfer Boy in Town. --RoadDog
WISDOM OF CHILDREN: Stay away from prunes.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
