A California song...or forty

Going to California with a Song in my Heart from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

I still need to add a couple of songs to the California playlist, but otherwise, it's pretty solidly put together.

Enjoy it.

Viva Vegas music

Welcome to Lost Wages from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

Let's listen to some music in honor of our recent trip to Las Vegas.

The keystone was dropped into place.

1965 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

The Gateway Arch was completed in 1965.

I love the Gateway Arch.

You have the right to remain entertained.

1966 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

The Supreme Court ruled in the case of Miranda v Arizona in 1966. There was a time when our rights were being expanded. Nice times, I'm sure.

Free Cassius

1967 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

In 1967, Cassius Marsellus Clay was convicted of evading the draft. The conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court in 1971.

American Pie was about 1968

1968 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

In 1968, the world lost a number of great people. In 1971, Don McLean wrote about some of them. In 2015, I made a playlist of songs from 1968.

And now we're working our way back through time

1969 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

We start with the music of 1969, and we'll go backwards from there.

That wraps up the 1970s.

1970 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

And now we shall never speak of the music of the 1970s again. In a week and a few days, I'll start a tag for the 1960s.

I'm sure something important happened in 1971.

1971 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

But this really isn't about the historical events of 1971. This is about the music, the feeling, the flow.

The Olympics were in Munich in 1972.

1972 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

There was happiness, and there was sadness at the 1972 summer Olympics. The music of 1972 was more universally happy.

Back and back now

1973 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

Stepping backwards in time...1973 it is...

I wasn't born yet.

1974 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

And now we start counting backwards from the year of my birth. 1974, you're up.

And done...for now...

2014 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

And we're up to 2014 now. That's the last year as we march forward.

In a couple of weeks, we'll start counting backwards with 1974.

Almost to today

2013 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

2013 has us almost caught up to today.

The Olympics were in London in 2012

2012 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

Do you remember the music that was playing during those Olympic games?

We continue the run...

2011 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

2011 has some good music, as well.

Back to the run...

2010 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

2010 had some decent music. Take a listen to what I'm talking about.

Hello, H1N1

2009 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

The threat of H1N1 didn't stop us from listening to any of these songs.

Two non-US-born-(kinda) guys ran for president in 2008

2008 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

See, Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, and John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone.

Neither one was born in an original part of the United States.

Interesting but officially legal in both cases.

Let's think back to the music of 2008 for a moment, shall we, and remember those wacky times.

...and hello, Gordon Brown

2007 from PHSChemGuy on 8tracks Radio.

In 2007, Gordon Brown took over leadership of the United Kingdom from David Blair.
