O/T Rock ’n’ Roll 500 in 2022

So, every Memorial Day our local rock station has a current list assembled of how Rock looks these days. This countdown looks about like I'd guess it should look these days. I wonder though, if they actually poll
folks here in Saint Louis or if this is some National survey they used.

No Gypsy?! How can any list of KSHE Klassics not include anything by Gypsy?

And Headstone! Where's "Turn Your Head"?

I demand a recount! ;)

Hi Bill!

Nope! Not a local to your town. As I remember, this was a huge AOR hit here. And, I think it might be about a road in California. Or, is there a "Hollywood" in North Chicago too? A burb maybe?

One that I always liked was Kim Mitchell, "Go For Soda." I was even asked to play that one at a wedding once.

"Lake Shore Drive" is all about the Chicago road--runs adjacent to Lake Michigan (hence the name). It's now
officially called "Jean Baptiste du Sable Lake Shore Drive."

The northernmost edge of Lake Shore Drive is at Hollywood Avenue (thus the line about "it's starts up North from
Hollywood"), and goes all the way south to Marquette Drive (about 16 miles). Then there's a small gap before it
resumes for another few miles.

It's a gorgeous view.

I think this great tune may have got more exposure and
audience from being featured in the movie and soundtrack of
"Guardians of the Galaxy". Perhaps more so than the days of
being current with radio air play.
