I worked in a record store in the early 80’s while in college.
My best day ever in the record store was when a guy asked me about a song, “I got a 69 Chevy with a 396…?
I instantly responded, “fuelie heads and a hurst on the floor? She’s waiting tonight down in the parking lot outside the Seven Eleven store. Me and my partner Sonny …”
The song is Racing in the Streets by Bruce Springsteen on the album Darkness on the Edge of Town produced in 1978.”
My awesome rock knowledge (haha) was one of those rare moments where you are in the right place at the right time. I knew Springsteen lyrics but not everything else!
Compare the opposite situation of George Costanza as a marine biologist 😁
