Thursday’s Top Ten
I was driving around at the Jersey Shore and discovered a wonderful Oldies radio station, 1410 AM. Apparently the love songs from my high school days are indelibly printed in my memory bank because although I can’t tell you what I had for dinner two nights ago, I can remember all the words to all the songs that were playing on the radio. I just hope this isn’t the first stage of dementia where you can only recall the far past and are lost in the present!!
Anyway, as I was cruisin’ and singing to myself, I wondered whether my kids would be able to remember songs from their teenage days 4o+ years later…and did their music actually have words (that you could understand) and more importantly, did they have songs like we (that’s the royal “we”) did? Songs that you could totally identify your love relationship (or lack thereof) with? Songs you could cry to, songs that you would play over and over and over again on your hi-fi?
So I thought a little nostalgic visit to the Golden Oldies would be a super Thursday’s Top Ten list. Hope these titles take you back to happier carefree time in your life!
