It was hard being a kid in the 1970’s and trying to figure out lyrics to all the songs on WLS/890am. Forget any of the songs on the FM stations.
We have all butchered a song in front of our friends at least once.
I had a crush on the lifeguard at the neighborhood pool the summer before freshman year of high school.
A bunch of her girlfriends from the Cathedral Class of ‘80 visited one day. It was the summer before they were all going away to college.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” was playing and we all took parts singing. When it was my part I sang, “Momma, I just killed a bear….”
All the girls laughed… except Trish Drew.
She smiled and said, “Shep, be prepared to get embarrassed in front of girls the next four years.”
Occasionally I would be pumped when I bought an album with lyrics on the sleeve. Kids today don’t have this problem. Google the lyrics for the song and ten websites offer the words.
To this day I’ll hear an old song. A song that I’ve listened to for 50, 40, 30 years. Look up the lyrics and scratch my head.
That’s what they were singing?
Todays quote comes from a rock anthem. I don’t know what the hell it means….. maybe you can figure it out!
It’s going to be a beautiful Saturday…. Rugby Saturday! Good luck Chicago Blaze. Play well this afternoon gentlemen.
