"Morning Train" by Shenna Easton grabs a hold of me against my will
I'm at that cervezeria in Psirri and "Morning Train" comes on after a rip-off version of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" which serves as the theme song intro for radio 103.30.
I was immediately transported back to 6th grade, early 80's, listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 count down and the long distance dedication.
How embarrassing is it to have this emotional tie to that song. I can't help it, I've been brainwashed. And there are others too. God help me, any song by The Carpetners, to cite just one example of how deep the depravity goes.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
