Here’s the song: where in time and place are you transported to?

[Borillar]

1976: I’m a college freshman at an East Coast university, far away from home, and it’s the Friday night after the first week of classes. I join my new friends at a bar a few blocks from campus. I have just set off on the first “adult” chapter in my life, and I know it, and this starts to play. I can still picture the table where I sat.

The Boxer? Transports me back to around 1970 riding in my dad's car listening to the tinny AM radio.

Senior in HighSchool. Local Alternative radio station played that song a lot. Some great songs by those two.

The Boxer? Transports me back to around 1970 riding in my dad's car listening to the tinny AM radio.

Compared to what we have today, the sound of those AM radios was terrible. But at the time? The music and the freedom were a balm for the soul.

On the way to a dentist appointment. I was apprehensive not fond of going to the dentist. It soothed me some.

Traveling the state of Washington in a van, camping and fishing and sightseeing. That was back when Washington was still worth seeing.

I loved them, but they were the prototype of this, which is so vastly superior to the original.

Awesome version

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Awesome version

I didn't like it much at first, but seeing the visceral appeal of this video sold me.

Disturbed brought far more power and emotion to that song than S&G did.

 

[Mindful]

I think of England. Makes me homesick..

 

[Likkmee]

I was transported to a barber to remove da fro.

 

[lg325]

Takes me back to my childhood the home place I grew up.

I was in a record store in Vincennes, Indiana, where I was going to college, when I first heard this song. Since I'm from western Kentucky, I got chills when I heard the opening lines.
