In Reply to: What song from the past brings back memories? posted by howard on March 13, 2007 at 22:58:29:
Growing up in Detroit in the 60's was both fun and scary. Fun: lots of excellent local music; Scary: my father had control of the car radio, the only radio we had. 20 minute trips listening to syrupy geck seemed like eterneties. But in '66 my hipster uncle bought me a transistor radio (that's right, ss, no tubes). These days, when I hear that song, I am transferred back in time to my post as Lieutenant Dan, safety boy, wigglin' and jigglin' on the corner with one hand mashing that radio against my ear for maximum mono fidelity of Cool Jerk, while streams of innocent tikes actually counted on me for their safe crossing. I don't know how (or if) anyone survived crossing my street when Cool Jerk came on.
