@WildAlaskaBibliophile usually crank the 80s and 90s country hits during road trips, and this weekend we spent Saturday in Homer. A song from this album popped up. This was an early favorite of mine; I grew up with country music from my mom and classic rock from my dad. This was one of the early country-pop crossover hits, but I think it was well-balanced. https://youtu.be/hU0nP9dcI_w

Would so much prefer this to still be a book stall. Why do you taunt me Manchester Victoria train station? @TrishB @squirrelbrain
For me, it's a tie between Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes and Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band. Both songs make me want to switch the dial immediately!! Also, Escape is probably the most unrealistic song about infidelity ever written. #tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

pickOft-imitated but never quite equalled, Lester Bangs is one of those writers (like Hunter S Thompson) whose influence on modern journalism is inescapable, mostly (and ironically) for the worse. I say ironically because I consider each to be two of the best writers of the second half of the 20th century, a feeling only reinforced by decades of bad impersonations in alternative weeklies and online magazines all across the country.
