the 2012 trivial drivel thread

[Midwest Spy]

Just so we can all feel a little older...

'Jack and Diane' was released as a single 30 years ago this week.

Summer of '82 was a great time for me.

Anybody else?

Yep, I was 7 years old and that was my favorite song. My dad took me and my friend to a sports bar and gave us money for the juke box, we kept playing it over and over and he told me if I play it one more time he's gonna kick my ass.

The good ole' jukebox.

My grandparents used to own an old mom and pops supperclub in northern MN. I discovered the jukebox at the age of 11, and we'd sneak in before the place would open in the evenings, pump soda from the bar and play tunes to our hearts content. They never updated the tunes, that was the best part.

So, for years it was Kansas' "Point of Know Return" that we played again and again.
