Summers! What a trip! At least they were for me in my uber-enthusiastic youth. Cutting the gut in Albany, two towns over, Radio Station KRKT blasting Sean & The Brandywines‘ She Ain’t No Good while my buddies and I looked for ladies. Driving over the bridge into Corvallis, Radio KFLY doing the same with The Sonics‘ Louie Louie. Late Spring on a drive home, Eugene’s Radio KASH giving us The Five Americans‘ I See the Light. Driving with the windows down on a cold night listening to Fontella Bass (Rescue Me), Lou Christie (Lightning Strikes), Love (Little Red Book), and The Mojo Men (Dance With Me). Man, could life get any better?

Given enough time, it is a shadow of its former self. No matter what happens, importance of virtually everything is either magnified or diminished depending upon a number of factors. By the time it has been filtered over the years, it is not even remotely what it started out to be. The Twenties obviously weren’t all Gatsby and The Thirties weren’t all dust bowl and depression. There was so much more than the War (that would be of the Second World variety, sports fans) and recovery from to the Forties and if the US had lived the Fifties like Hollywood said, we would have fought like hell to stay there. Of course, by the time it got to us, it was Cliff’s Notes all over again.
Frank Gutch Jr: Dumpster Diving For 45s, Ken Nordine….. Plus Notes To Die For

They do not know the pleasure of the 45 RPM record. They do not understand the thrill of buying a hit and finding a song on the flip side that gets as much or more play time as the hit. They do not know, in this day of pay-per-track that they should be getting two songs for the price of the one. It’s the law. Or should be. I am sure that asshats at corporate chuckle every time us idiots order a song, knowing that they are shortchanging us. Yep, we used to get two songs. Like I said, it was the law. Labels and distributors, though, write their own laws these days. I know I’m a dinosaur, but anything less than two is a fuck you to us music junkies. Well, fuck them.
