One of the highlights of 1967 was taking a road trip down to see my mother’s sister Bernice in St. Petersburg, Florida and then on to Houston, Texas to see her brother Stanley. They had moved away before I was born so it was likely my first time meeting them. While my own memories of the trip are rather sketchy, we do have many home movies and photos of that vacation. Uncle Stanley appeared pretty animated.
Wondering why Sonny and Cher are in some kind of barn for this song. You can tell Jim Morrison is singing live not lip syncing on Light My Fire. So fun to watch these and see where they fit into your life!
I'm slightly concerned I'm using a different source list for 1967. Here's my list (again in no specific order)
* Expressway to Your Heart
My Chicago roots show here: traffic and expressways
* Ode to Billie Joe
There's so much going on under the radar in this song
* Pleasant Valley Sunday
To this day, this song reflects my view of the suburbs
* For What It's Worth
Only in the past few years have I - MAYBE - realized the meaning of this song
* I dig rock n roll music
Love the music references
* The Beat goes on
More music references
* Mirage
Honestly, a post from The Lost Songs Project pushed this into my top 10
* Friday on my mind
* Happy Together
* I'm a Believer
Let's talk about misheard lyrics. I thought they said "I thought love was more or less a Griffen good. Seems the more i gave the less i got.". In my Econ class, I learned that a Giffen Good was something that you buy more of even as the price goes higher. It made sense to me ... at the time ...
Had a wonderful conversation with random guy at a restaurant who was eavesdropping on Phil and I talking about yours (and my) lists.
Hmmm... I wondering what that alternate source is. Your songs seem logical...just not all in my Top Ten! I have never heard the term Giffen Good but then, I never took an econ class!
