Mike - Everyone has their own niche with regard to Music. You have the Chart and Nostalgia thing (the Era you grew up in), and because it happened to be a qualified Hit (Top 40) in the long ago past, it's fair game. But not everyone knows everything about all that, much less can identify with that.
I mainly take music for what it is, not for what it was. Consider that it didn't take too long for Ronnie to get it. Now perhaps he had the CD and knew it from there. That's TODAY, not a memory from the past. I knew the song from having the records. Putting them all together keeps this Fun for me. The Chart position (like all Chart postions) point is moot, since that only mattered for one week in September, nearly 47 years ago(!). It was only added to help along in the Game. And it IS only a Game, isnt it?
Actually, I was going to bring her up one day in an entirely different context, but the recent wave of Teaser posts made it more interesting. Just trying to keep it Fun.
