Sitting outside at the Chicago Riverwalk

by Jack, (264 days ago)

At a beer garden with a big tree strategically placed so I can’t view the “TRUMP” sign.

Anyway, is an absolutely beautiful day here, they have a great play list, and just played two classic summer songs, “In the Summertime” by Mungo Jerry and “Hot Fun in the Summertime” by Sly and the Family Stone.

What other great summer songs should they play (besides “Magic” by the Cars)?

Summer Breeze - Seals & Croft

by Jeremy (WeIsND), Offices of Babip Pecota Vorp & Eckstein, (264 days ago) @ Jack

Perhaps its the Dazed and Confused scene, but I just always associate that song with the best days of summer.

Growing up in New York this song always felt late fall to me (leaves turning color). But it's the 4th of July in the lyric.

Speaking of Chicago, I'm coming to town this afternoon with my sis and a couple of friends for the Alabama Shakes show this evening at the Salt Shed. If anyone is also going or otherwise interested in meeting up, we'll be around til Friday AM so shoot me an email. Always fun to catch up with good people from these parts.

If you're still there, Boys of Summer is a favorite.

by San Pedro, More than 100 feet from Bob Davies, (263 days ago) @ Jack

Do they have a synthesizer?

locked

An all-time favorite song...

by atxND, (263 days ago) @ San Pedro

Wayfarers, deadhead stickers and a spot-on music video. Up there with Wicked Game as among the best black and white music videos ever.

Written by Mike Campbell

and rejected by Tom Petty as a Heartbreakers song, so he sold it to Don Henley.

Maybe not Tom's best decision.

locked

Great decision

by Greg, seemingly ranch, (263 days ago) @ IrishGuard

Tom never would have had the haunting synths, and Don Henley's voice (notwithstanding all of his other, er, attributes) was just perfect for the plaintive tone of the song. Maybe a loss for Tom but a win for humanity.
