Iggy Pop’s masterpiece, with a sound akin to Lou Reed. The claim is the song was inspired by car rides with David Bowie.
Another classic song about car cruising. I first heard this demo tape in high school on WBCN. FM radios in cars were a relative rarity back then, especially the older cars driven by kids. So it made sense that Richman loved the AM sound, implying WRKO in Boston, rather than WBCN.
Here’s an oldie. Not as old as most of my music choices, but it’s old enough, as am I.

Belgium’s a coronavirus hot spot, with all restaurants and bars now closed for a month, and a curfew from midnight-to-5 AM. So break it up and get your masks on, ladies!
Here is some Europop magic from 2008. It’ll be a long time before there’s another Kissing Day.
Studio 100 wouldn’t let me post this video on YouTube, so I’ll have to do it the hard way.
It’s Sean’s birthday, too. He’s 45 today.
