Talk about a LOST 70s hit -- among so many that Bob Radil (re-)introduced to us on his 60s & 70s show -- this Chicago-area regional hit is on Bob's July 11 archive. Incredibly happy catchy song about Chicago's favorite highway. Or is it? The chorus includes the initials "LSD", which I heard IS a local nickname for the road long before the drug. I once assumed any song that used this phrase in 1971 was doing a double entandre, but after hearing the song last month I'm not so sure. It really just sounds like a driving song and with lyrics about things like the beautiful sunrise over the Lake Michigan.
