This past Saturday, Wendy Rice went back to the year 1967 on her Saturday Morning Flashback show on Chicago's WXRT. This was a great high school year for me as I was a sophomore and then junior at Palatine High School in Palatine, Illinois. I started working at Burger King on Northwest Highway (US-14) in Palatine and I met Liz.
I have since had two 1967 vehicles. The first was a 1967 Pontiac Tempest which I drove a lot to school and also to NIU for my Master's Degree. The other one was a 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible.
These are the songs she played:
I AM THE WALRUS-- Beatles
SWEET SOUL MUSIC-- Arthur Conley
SWALBR-- Cream
SOUL MAN-- Sam and Dave
(WE AIN'T GOT) NOTHIN' YET-- Blues Magoos
HAPPY JACK-- Who
LET'S LIVE FOR TODAY-- Grass Roots
SUNNY AFTERNOON-- Kinks
EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART-- Soul Survivors
Name That Tune (from above songs): "The Taxman's Taken All My Dough." --RoadDog
MORE SUTHEN-ISMS: Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are NOT a breakfast food.
"Sunny Afternoon"
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.
