Favorite Power Pop single - I was going to pick the Who's classic "So Sad
About
Us" but since it was never released on a 45 (if it did, I want a copy), my
choice is Marshall Crenshaw's "Whenever You're On My Mind". I still remember
hearing it on the radio in 1983 and immediately being knocked out by it. I
still play it when I want a "fix"...
