More summer tunage

I am back. I want to continue with my topic of yesterday, namely, cool summer tunes in my humble opinion.

2. Life's Been Good-Joe Walsh (1978). I love the tune and it so reminds me of the summer of '78 on my bike, all allergic to the world and congested. It was a good summer of doing nothing but staying out late and sleeping in. Of course, there were no combustibles or bevvies getting into my system, so how good could it have been.

3. Peaches-The Stranglers, it was released in 1977 but was an anthem to me in 1983. From the first Stranglers album, it was a great, and still is, tune. "Walking on the beaches, looking at the peaches", great lyrics and bass line. How can you not like it? It really reminds me of the summer of '83 as I would let out a gutteral yell every time I heard it on the radio.

4. Sweet Dreams-The Eurythmics (1983), just reminds me of that summer. Getting my first car (1982 Mustang with no power), starting university/college, it was all good. Even the fire at my father's store, where I would work that summer (as I had the previous 5 and would the next 5, then return for an encore in '91).

That is all for today. Let me know some of your summer favorites. Fuck, I hate begging for feedback or contact, so do not make me do that anymore. Ciao!
