In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

My favorite radio station is doing a “top 885” song countdown. I’m not entirely sure what number they’re down to now, but they started this morning and won’t end until Friday sometime. They just played In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. The long version. Simon and Garfunkle’s “Homeward Bound” has just started. It’s a very surrealistic blast from the past moment.

Ah. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was #706. S&G was #705. And the Beatles will be next at #704 with “Eight Days a Week”. Now there’s some trivia for you. Eight Days a Week is supposedly the first song to use a fade out.

Music is good. Numbered music is better. It keeps you from thinking.

  1. Catching up…sorry to hear CW is not feeling well. 🙁

    Ugh, I never did like "Homeward Bound". Max’s horse is named Koda Chrome, though not for the song they did (at least I think it was them?). He was named Koda for his sire and he had more white (chrome) on him…at any rate, that’s one song I do like, it’s upbeat.

    I can only guess the radio station is located on 88.5 or something like that?

  2. Leaving a comment because *I* can WOO-HOO. And to say…

    …The Friday compression would be bad enough, but the fact that it’s a part-two-er adds to the stress. It’s good that they’re thorough. During my part-two last month, involving DOZENS of compressions, I began thinking of clothes that could be made with the corners of two envelopes, for some reason…but the good news is I got kind of numb after the first five pictures.

    Hope you and Clueless will be getting news you can live with soon.
