Anyone remember the song "Life is a rock (but the radio rolled me)" from the 70's?
I happened across it while searching for something else. What a blast from the past!

Video to refresh your memory (or some of you anyway):

    I'm one that's old enough to remember that one. Thanks for the blast.

    And remember all those 'songs' that used to be put together like an interview, with song fragments for the 'answers'? Whatever happened to those things?

    They turned into "rap" songs using "sampling"... :mrgreen:

    My goodness, I haven't heard that song in forever. In fact I bet I haven't heard it since it was playing on KJR am95 when I was a teenager growing up in Seattle. :razz:

    The vids the show to the right bring back a few memories too.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.
