This morning I was driving into work and of course I was listening to the radio and thinking about how much the last song they played sucked, when they started a give-a-way. The DJ read a song in something of a lyrical fashion and you were supposed to tell him what the song was. Well the first line was:
“It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down.”
I had my phone out and was dialing before he got past sun. I knew what it was instantly. I mean I had only sung the song in my head a thousand times while swimming the 500 Freestyle.
I was the first caller and had the right answer right away. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Running Down a Dream
I could quote you the whole song if you wanted, but I’ll save you the trouble of having to read it.
I won a pair of tickets to Horse Cave Theatre, which is good since Pauline was going to make me buy them anyway and two tickets to the corvette museum. I got to pick the tickets up next time I am in BG.
