Music From the Sixties

Yellow Submarine comes on the radio. Beatles music. I press the accelerator, flying past semis who had been chasing each other. Little Old Lady from Pasadena comes on next. I go insane, setting a new world record for speed. Mama Cass’s voice comes out of that radio. It is ON! Shades of my youth When I blew two engines out of two cars. Because I was that girl.

Wasn't that Marlo Thomas?! ('That girl'). LOL... And then there was 'My Girl' and 'Candy Girl' from the Four Seasons... Really though, there was no girl quite like you!! (blowing out two engines, gawd!). :) gw

It really was her and me. We are vicariously living through each other.

I adore the Beach Boys, Mama Cass, and Elvis songs too. Johnny Cash is what my dad piped in day and night.

I have to tell you, it is an experience getting into a car with me. I am on "race car driver mode" the second the right song comes on the radio.
