Guess who these two end-of-the-Baby Boomers listened to while driving to Thanksgiving dinner?
There will be a prize for the right guess and for the funniest guess (which will be totally subjective, naturally.)

Bruce Springsteen? You guys probably fall into the time period where I was listening to the all-classical St. Olaf station and had no idea what was going on. Oh wait! What about ABBA?

Auntie Knickers and I were listening to the same station. Had no idea of what was going on. I was also in a practice room at college. I have a huge gap in knowledge of late boomer music. Of course, you may have not been listening to boomer music anyway.

I’ll take a wild stab in the dark and wager that it *wasn’t* something like death metal.
Maybe the soundtrack to “Wicked”? 🙂

Ruby, we *like* some of those! Moody Blues and Bread were definitely available in Pure Luck’s car, though we listened exclusively to a solo artist with an idiosyncratic name. Hope this hint helps.
Thus far the funniest answer is the Smurf song, although it might have been the rap songs until I went to the link and realized I didn’t know any of them!

Absolutely nothing, Susan. Pure Luck and I are both big fans of the “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

We had an interfamily squabble about including The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Moody Blues. (Garden Girl loves Gordon Lightfoot.) Unfortunately, they were victims of too much airplay on WNOR during the teen years.
As for Bread, I played Bread’s “Guitar Man” until the LP wore out, and in an embarrassing teen moment, I recorded myself singing “If.”
P.S. I cast my vote for the Smurf song. Tee hee.
