BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER
SUMMER SONTS
Summer 1985
This summer in a small town in Colorado I paid $60 a month for my 1972 Chevelle (loved that car!). Two roommates and I split rent on a place that charged us $90 a month. By Labor Day, our summer fun ended, and I packed my bags and went to Lubbock, Texas for college.
My friend Daren introduced me to a Detroit Legend. Detroit? Detroit sounded like another planet to that small town girl.
I think the egocentricity of this song probably struck the chord in me at that time, because college meant I was leaving my small town, my friends, and my comfort zone behind. I definitely turned a page.
Daren and I sat in front of the record player (YEP, RECORD PLAYER) and sang this over and over:

Ah, man the days of vinyl.....
ever hear the metallica cover ? ;D
I had vinyl seats and an am only radio. Not even a cassette player.
Oh, yes Kat and Shawna to 80's ;)
It is so fun, how technology has evolved. Thanks for coming over.
Yes, the days of vinyl. Funny the artists I'll always remember in vinyl: Joan Jett, Boston, Nazereth. . :) hee hee (Shawna, and now cars don't even come with cassette LOL)
Ban~Ok, seriously. Did you say Metallica did a cover? I am on my way to search that out. That will probably take the place of good ol Bob Seger! :)
Thanks for droppin in girls!! Happy Labor Day!
You see, if Bob Seger would have been traveling west of Omaha instead of east, he wouldn't have been on a long and lonesome highway in Iowa. He'd have been on a fun and friend-filled highway in Nebraska.
That's always been my take on the song. :-)
I've always been a Seger fan. My favorite it Main Street.
