Ok, you've convinced me. Next time they are anywhere close, I'm there! I used to have a cassette(what's that?) with "Runnin' Down a Dream" on it and would crank it up as loud as I could in my little old hatchback, but my SUV has CD only, but a total kick a** stereo system in it. I was just looking up the CD on the net yesterday so I can get it...and you're so right, it's also "my roll-the-windows-down-drive-real-fast-pretend-I'm-a-kid-again theme song" but the sunroof has to be open too...gotta let the hair fly all over! LOL
And you're not THAT old...I'll hit 42 Monday.
Happy Birthday!
Cassette? My first TP was on vinyl! And Tom himself was campaigning against his own record label to keep the cost down.
I seem to remember he was mad as you-know-what that albums were going from $9 to $11... Man! Those were the good ol days, weren't they... I believe the one he insisted remain at the old price was "Damn the Torpedoes". I won a copy for free, playing the "Sea Wolf" arcade game in a PEACHES store.
