@nickofwimbledon Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart … what a gem!

if you can believe this … I say it that way b/c it’s almost surreal now, given how much things’ve changed in the world. 
 

But back in the day … it was the mid 80’s, I’m sure … ‘86 is standing out in my head, but would have to check because it’s kind of blurry, at my age.     : )

This took place in KC, but an FM radio station in Lawrence KS, which is a real cool college town right outside of KC was having a promotion for a radio station in Lawrence, as I recall it was 106.5 can’t remember the call letters. The promotion lasted all summer long, and included various acts, including the Indigo Girls … but I got to see Camper Van Beethoven “live” at a real cool club here in KC called Mississippi Nights for $1.06. Not Joking. The promotion was that they sold tickets to some of the hot college radio acts for a dollar and six cents.

Got to see the Indigo Girls perform in a very small club called The Grand Emporium. Brings back some great memories!

@curiousjim +1 What a killer song, and boy oh boy, ist hat sentiment on the money right now, or what?

I think anyone who was around back in the early 70's when they played it on FM radio is probably singing the refrain in their head right now. Great memories from a truly bygone era. 

Are we fortunate we got to be there, or what?!?

Thanks, I need that. So good to be grateful.
