Dad is driving and although 30 years my senior, dad is cool.He let us play whatever music we wanted on the radio (as long as there wasn't a baseball game on) and I of course only knew the top ten crap that was so popular at the time.

My sister, a few years older than I, indicated that we should listen to an AM station...yeah..AM cause they had cooler music. My sister wasn't very outgoing and I doubted her taste in music but her station came on. I remember this "undergrou...
