I'm an eighties person
in typical web-serendipity, looking for the composer of a song brought me to a
site with the wonderful-horrendous name of 'superseventies.com'. understand,
i'm an eighties person. don't like the seventies (at least, not until they
became kind of pre-eighties-eighties - sex pistols, early new wave and the like)
but most of the band's material comes from that
era: the other members keep coming with stuff that makes me feel so young.
"Gee, what's this? I've never heard this in my life." to which Simone answers,
"my god that you don't know that. it was number one for the whole summer."
so browsing this seventies-site, it's uncanny how many songs are on there that
i either didn't know before a bandmember played it to me - or songs that i
do know and would *never* *ever* want to play! (tie a yellow ribbon, to name the
worst).
