Collecting 45's, I could not wait for albums of groups' greatest hits to be released; one band I thought was pretty great put out the album most well-liked by me. Its psychedelic cover art was cool. And Golden Bisquits was the album’s name. I listened very often after school to those songs that enjoyed radio fame. “One,” (the Loneliest Number), fed into my teenage angst; there was another song called “Easy to be Hard.” When I was blue those were the songs with which I’d sing along. A song of novelty I loved to hear entitled “Mama Told Me Not to Come.” The singer, in a silly voice, feigned fear of a party that he should escape from! Twelve songs in all, romantic mostly, and the album had that seventies rock beat. It was the best deal I would ever get of all my high school records. It was grand! My 45’s and albums to this day are in a closet. I don’t feel it’s right to trash my youth. How could I throw away good memories in songs by Three Dog Night?
