In the summertime in the 70’s, you probably went out in the country to escape the war that seemed to have been going on for a long long time. There, a green eyed lady named Lola, or was it Joanne, promised peace will come according to plan. It was good that you took that trip instead of sticking closer to home like you normally would, alone, like a solitary man. All right now, I’ll be there for this episode to listen to the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending September 19th 1970. If some of the songs were subsequently covered, or sampled, I may thing to myself, look what they’ve done to my song ma. It’s a shame.
