+100 Especially Barracuda. There's a radio station in Jacksonville, NC that I used to call the Barracuda station. Everytime I turned it on, it was ba-ba-ba-Barracuda! I got so I would never listen to it again if I could help it.
In between Barracudas, it was a John Mellencamp song and then a Doors song, then back to Barracuda. True story: I came to the realization that you could be driving anywhere in NC in 1995 and if you were hitting the seek button on your radio, there was a 100% chance of hearing something by John Mellencamp. It proved true time and time again. - Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 2:26 PM Subject: Re: classic rock that is actually classic > yeah you know, I was thinking about this and maybe there should be classic > (musical excellence), classic (just a good song), classic (evokes the > period) and classic (nooooo. not again).
