The 8 Track in a cool Datsun
Posted on | April 25, 2010 | Comments Off
She remembered the car like it was yesterday…a Datsun B210 hatchback…brown…with a stripe…and an after market 8 track player installed by her mom’s friend in a rather odd place since it didn’t seem to fit where it was supposed to go. The music, well the best music playing was America’s Greatest Hits – History with so many great songs…Ventura Highway, Sandman, Muskrat Love to name a few.
She put the same music on her itunes and smiled knowing a certain 14 year old was learning to play A Horse With No Name for his Grandmother on his guitar. Pretty cool.
Interesting tidbit: A Horse with No Name was originally banned by many radio stations in the US because of drug references. She of course didn’t get those references as a kid…it was all about a horse and plants and birds and rocks and things. . .
