A “Classic Rock” song that really snuck up on me
Mostly, I listen to a jazz radio station. From time to time, particularily in the car, I listen to Q107, my favourite “Classic Rock” station, by a long way. All the other classic rock stations are all caught up on wierd stuff like Foreigner, Journey, Boston, Toto, Styx, all this stuff I never really listened to. Q107 tends to play more Zeppelin and Sabbath, but also more CanCon like Trooper, April Wine, Streetheart, Prism, Loverboy, and I like the cheesy stuff too. Not part of the LA corporate playlist, I guess.

Anyway, I heard this song on there the other day, and it got stuck in my head something fierce. I mean, really bad. It gave me all these flashbacks to camping with my parents when I was wee, shag carpets, globe cedars, yup, it really really took me back. And this video is a hoot – Kinda livish, and man, I have not seen a mullet nearly so wonderous as the one on that keyboardist for quite some time…

You may notice I didn’t mention the name of the song. I figger there’s a good chance you wouldn’t even try. But you should. It’s very short, and even more enchanting…

You know, I never really cared much for that song, never even cared much for that band. But I seem to have listened to it 20 times in a row now, with little sign of stopping.
