Nov 2013

The year was 1974, two metal-heads in a '68 Superbee listening to the radio when the song "Dreamer" comes on. This was our very first exposure to the band. We looked at each other in shock and horror, "WTF kind of bubblegum poo is this?!?" I still think the song is silly but Supertramp is OK in my book now. (The car belonged to the friend but I sure wish I had that Superbee today).
