Yesterday, while in a conversation with a friend, this song came up.
Never heard of it.

  5. This was a flipside favorite to that other melancholy smash, “Wildfire.” Whenever played back-to-back, suicide rates in the listening area spiked 30%. Add on “Seasons in the Sun,” it was 70%.

  9. @ Diff Tim,
    phookin’ ‘Free Bird’…… My head might explode if I ever have to hear it again. Never is too soon.
    This song has a familiar ring to it, but it doesn’t stand out in my memory.

  10. Want to here a good am record. Check Byron MacGregor The Americans. He was a canadian DJ at Detroit’s CKLW. It was a different time back then. If you love your country you’ll love his take on it from almost 50 years ago. Was a big hit locally here in Mich but don’t know if it went nationwide. It should have.

  11. I never heard of it either, and I’m a child of the 70′ who was a Top-40 devotee. But I do remember it being included on all those 70’s compilation albums (“Freedom Rock”) sold on TV years ago.

    @ Diff Tim,
    “phookin’ ‘Free Bird’…… My head might explode if I ever have to hear it again. Never is too soon.”

    …just so you know, I apologize, but I’m “that guy” who yells out “Free Bird!” whenever there’s an awkward silence at a public event like it’s funny, so, sorry if I end up being the one that puts you over the top…

  19. I remember it well. Ok the first few times, but then had to turn off the radio when they played it.

    Didn’t like it because it was sad, now I hate it knowing it was about a dog. Dang, I could have lived the rest of my life without knowing that! 🙁

  23. SNS, yup. That was me. And I didn’t even watch the whole thing. Was watching it on TV and left the room before the deed was done.

    Now, if I want to see a movie about critters, I have to know the ending before I watch! Wouldn’t watch “Marley and Me”. Nope, not going to do it.

    Did watch “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” after I found out they all survived. 🙂
