E61 Cabbage Patch Dolls Keep Fallin' on My Head

About this episode

What happens when a sudden ultimatum forces you to find a job overnight? Little did I know, this path would soon involve me in the Cabbage Patch doll phenomenon, handling name change requests and birth certificates amid the craze. Reflecting on these times, I ponder how the digital age has revolutionized the way we tackle tasks and access information.

Get ready to wander down memory lane through the late '70s and early '80s, as we reminisce about discovering music through workplace radios and those nostalgic K-Tel compilation albums. We'll explore how song length plays into streaming stats and feel the psychedelic folk-rock vibes of Sid Barrett's "The Madcap Laughs." 

We look back at the first #1 song of the 70's "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" and its connection to the film 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.' It's the 40th anniversary of John Fogerty's "Centerfield" and believe it or not he was sued for sounding like himself. Let's reconnect with the musical tapestries that shaped our tastes. It's a celebration of musical diversity and the enduring impact of unexpected tunes on our lives.

"Music in My Shoes" where music and memories intertwine.
