would insist on wearing hair like this. I think it made me suspicious of him. Any song this man covered, couldn't possibly be a good song.
Or it could be the fact that I got sooo monumentally sick of "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" which was on the air allll the time.
Man I got to hating that song. Only now, when I play my Best of Otis Redding, have I been able to appreciate its beauty.
It wouldn't be until 3 years later that I would come to detest a song this much, simply through over-over-play, and that was Marc Cohn's "Walking in Memphis."
I was painting houses that summer, and my fellow painters refused to EVAH change the radio station. All they would ever play, every day, was mother-bleeping CHOM (the rock station.)
It doesn't take more than one week, working full-time, listening to the radio 8 hours/day, to know a radio station's playlist off by heart. I don't know why the rest of them didn't get so monumentally sick of the playlist as I did. Possibly they had no souls.
I sent the rest of the summer listening to CBC Radio.
What song are you still, to this day, sick of? I'm not asking this to be cute... I'd like to know!
