I remember being on a road trip about 25 years ago, driving on I-40 and going through Winslow AZ with the radio on.

In the summer of '75, I had a '69 Camaro with a factory 8-track player. The previous owner left a box of tapes in the trunk, among which was the 5th Dimension's platinum album Portrait. This was a departure from my usual diet of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake & Palmer, etc. but my girlfriend liked it, so it went into the rotation.
You don't hear it too often these days, but the instant I hear the opening notes, I am transported to Surf City, NJ, cruising down Long Beach Boulevard with the (then) love of my life by my side. My hair was long, my skin was tanned, my feet were bare, and in many ways, it was the best, simplest time of my life.

I think any songs that I heard growing up in my teens and early 20s.

I remember my mother wanting to buy Time Life Books of old songs and I chided her what for? They got some great modern music you can listen to on the radio for free.

Then now, I'm telling Alexa to go play some 70s music.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

We used to rent a house In Ship Bottom on the Bay side during that time with friends of ours. Both My Parents are gone, My Godmother on the other. What I would give to go back there.
