All those songs we listened to on the radio? They’re back again, just like a long lost friend. Amazon or iTunes has them all. YouTube has the videos. Just download them for a small price or whatever, depending on the site, add them to your playlist, set it on shuffle, and you are back in 1970. Simple as that!
My blog posts cover a week at a time. I’ll list the Top Ten or Top Twenty or Top Forty for that week, link the titles to an appropriate download site, and discuss one or two of my favorites. After a while, the schoolyard memories will grow ever more sparse and it will be just the music.
There were some wonderful songs in those years. I’d sit on the radiocassette, just waiting for the right moment to hit record. And another favorite song would be mine forever, complete with station identification and smart-arse DJ comments. A pity I no longer own anything that will play cassettes…
But, there they are on the web, there they are on my iPhone, and once again I marvel at this magical science fiction age we live in.
