The Drive, 08/19/08: It's 1968!
« on: August 19, 2008, 08:05:09 AM »
A fine year kicks off with the song my college friends at the Phi Kappa Psi house used to open all their parties with: "Hello, I Love You."
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

And now, a flashback to 40 summers ago for Mike: "Grazing in the Grass."  More cowbell!

Ewww, "On the Road Again."  The dumbness, it burns.

Heh, Bob: "1968. In Olympics news - Michael Phelps hasn't been born yet."
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

I didn't know that: Bob informs us that Hugh Masekela played the trumpet on "So You Wanna Be a R&R Star."

Me neither, that a great trivia nugget.
