A little something that my weird brain came up with and I decided to post it here even though it has nothing to do with 1977, except that paperboys were still a thing back in the ’70s.
And, the NSFW version. You’ve been warned.
Not many songs about paperboys, but Queen does a great song about riding bicycles! From their 1978 album “Jazz” came the double sided single of “Bicycle Race” and “Fat Bottomed Girls.” Cleverly, Queen mentions the other song’s title in the lyrics.
Of course you visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
I have visited that on an earlier visit. My son and I were driving home from a trip to Pennsylvania and we decided to take well deserved break to visit the Hall of Fame. Was very cool to see all the stuff they had.
On this trip to Cleveland, I took in the “Christmas Story” house tour and other tourist type places. Plus, lots of beer drinking. 🙂
I’m reminded of “George of the Jungle.” How was Charlotte and Cleveland?
Cleveland is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. I’m not into “big” city atmospheres. I’m more of a rural, wide-open-spaces type of guy. Which is why I love the Statesville/Mooresville area. Easy access to some nice, open spaces, but still not far from “big” city stores.
Well, I liked the area around Huntersville going over to Concord, but I visited only as a tourist, and only did touristy things. The track, the shops, the malls…
Bicycle Race came off Jazz from 1977. So, yes it was a 70’s song. 😉
That’s what I get for writing posts late at night. Thank you, I’ve updated the post with my my morning “fresh” brain. 🙂
How was NASCAR tech they could not all look like Larry the cable guy and Jeff Foxworthy oh the fashion horror not the camo cargo shorts and crocs of doom. I’m melting and it’s not just the heat glad I’m not their. Thanks for the Queen bicycle video hot looking English girls wearing only shoes and socks riding bicycle at Wimbledton where they play tennis every summer oh the preverse joy.
Well, to be honest, some NASCAR fans do look just like Larry the Cable Guy. But, they’re a friendly bunch none-the-less. The NASCAR Tech school is outstanding. Great facilities and excellent staff. Adam will learn a ton by being there.
And how could I not put that video on this post? Surprised YouTube allowed it. 🙂

Paper Lads TV Series
Theme to the TV series “Back Home Once Again!”.
Beautiful song by an amazing group
See? The BBC has done everything. Our American TV networks are full of shit and don’t have a creative bone in the entire lot.

Album version.
Thanks for the link! I’m a sucker for female vocalists, so I’ll have to go and Google that album and artist now. There’s goes another hour of my life. Ah, the internet. 🙂
Well there is also the whole fact that most paper companies won’t hire anyone younger than 18 to deliver papers anymore.
Any more, I had a paper rout in Junior High. Never had to deliver to any homes like this though…
are you deaded?
No, I suffered a stroke. I am around, but have a lot on my plate with my health issues.
Had a guy at work have the same while there – listen to the docs, do your therapy and take proper care of yourself. Remember, we want you to live long after 1977 (the comic) is history.
Sorry to hear about the stroke. Take your time getting better, we will be here.
That’s what I get for not scrolling down. Be well, dude.
I hope that getting the Miata running dodn’t cause the stroke. If so I might have to leave mine apart! Seriously, I hope yours didn’t affect your creative juices. Take care.
How about an update? You have us worried! But only if you can without a problem.
A health update…
