Where were you in 69?
smokin dope, and drinkin wine, The boys homesick.
Home sick for days gone by, home sick to kiss the sky.
Where's ole Belair?

Sammy, that from an old Atlanta rhythm section tune. It never was a hit, but I always liked it.
Rick, I liked ole Charley until he moved way right.(Not that he didn't start there). He did a great deal to bring southern fried rock to the front of rock, and country crossover.A great performer, and musician. He just kinda lost me on his message.

Now Sammy, next time you hear a good ole tune, or crank up the Z, you tell me if that doesn't make you a little homesick for 1969 too.

"Homesick" is on Atlanta Rhythm Sections's album "Quinella" which came out in '81 or so. It got pretty regular airplay in Minneapolis on the AOR/classic rock stations throughout the '80s. Its one of their harder rocking tunes. Kind of an anomoly, like Bread's "Mother Freedom" (one of my favorite harder rock guitar songs, by a predominantly soft-rockin' band).

Amen to the Charlie Daniels' comment. How did a guy who wrote "Long Haired Country Boy" and the southern hippie anthem "Uneasy Rider" evolve into a fairly obstinate right wing reactionary?

The cool thing about some race cars is that they have an evolutionary history, and you can pick the era you like best, or perhaps mix and match some elements from different eras.

Maybe this Nova didn't turn into a clown car until "Day 13", maybe it was tastefully campaigned for a time ala copo-2's pic. I could see doing it up with period bolt-ons and Cragars.

I am ALWAYS home sick for 1969. Ask my wife, I drive her nuts with nostalgia and always quiz her on the old songs that come on the radio from the CSNY and Hendrix era. er is what I am!
