Next Stop: Sun Lakes
My iPod is sitting in its little speaker mount thingie, playing away as I work. I tracked the first ten songs, just for the sheer shit of it. My age is showing.
1) You're So Vain - Carly Simon - 1972
2) Philadelphia Freedom - Elton John - 1976
3) Centerfield - John Fogerty - 1986
4) Gypsies In The Palace - Jimmy Buffett - 1985
5) Dirty Love - Frank Zappa - 1972
6) Black Friday - Steely Dan - 1975
7) Riders On The Storm - The Doors - 1971
8) Come Sail Away - Styx - 1977
9) Who Will Save Your Soul - Jewel - 1995
10)Litenin' - Dr. John - 2001
I'm guessing at the years, but they should be pretty close.
Those last two saved me from being a bonafide artifact. Even though Dr. John has been around for a couple of decades, he didn't release Litenin' to my knowledge until about 2001. It lifted the average year of the music I'm listening to all the way up to 1981. Good thing he came in when he did. #11 was Revolution by the Beatles.
EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION: I have an all-expense paid trip to Laveen for whoever can first tell me just what the Hell Styx (Is that redundant?) was alluding to with the last two verses of that song up there. Go ahead. Google it. You know you want to.
