The first time most of us heard it was in 1976 by Manfred Mann. AM radio wasn't playing Springsteen then.

WTF year are we talking about? (just woke up )

Depends on your definition of the word "alive". In 1973 and 1976 I was in the military...

However (even though you didn't ask ) Listening to a band with a name like that wasn't something I considered an option, and still don't... Be a cold day in hell before anyone accuses me of being testosterone deficient!

Ohhhh, well I never listened to Springsteen either

Here's what real men listened to then -



The only one I can make out for sure is the red one on the top. Who else knows what that is?

You mean the eight track tape collection? In 76 I was 27 years old. First factory eight track player I saw was in my friend's 67 RS/SS 350 Camaro convertible.

As an aside you couldn't get the gauge package and the eight track player together because the eight track went on the console where some of the gauges would have been.

Sorry for the hijack. Back to the music on WFIL, Philadelphia.

Whats funny is...how yall were with Records...and loved 8 tracks...and my generation caught the ass end of cassettes and all of CD's....

Kids today laugh their asses off at CD's...

"You mean, you had to carry around a pack of CD's..and they only had like 12-15 songs on them"..."But if you moved it, it skipped"...

Kids today...just dont get it..haha
