Oddly this past weekend I was at an outdoor arts festival in Columbus Ohio
for a north campus neighborhood. Over the loudspeaker they were playing,
"Hitchin' a Ride" by one hit wonder, Vanity Fair (if memory serves?). I
think I was still in elementary school, or early junior high at the time.
What struck me was how long it had been since I actually heard this song,
which I remember fondly on AM Radio. Also, there was some serious
cowbell in the last half of the song which I had no recollection of. It
also was way more on the psychedelic side than I remember. It caught me
off guard.
Was everything psychedelic at that time and this didn't stand out? Could
my memory be seriously flawed? Could I have been having an acid flashback
when I heard it this past weekend and that was making it more psychedelic
that it actually was?
So many questions for which I may never know the answer.......
