Reminds me of childhood sitting in the back of the car...
Before it appeared in commercials, Paul Simon's "Slip Slidin' Away" hit the top 10. Who hasn't had a period in life like this? The song itself seems to sum up America in the 1970s after the promise of the Kennedy years. It came at a time when the divorce rate began to skyrocket, gas prices jumped, the economy soured, and Watergate left everyone in a "last days of Rome" mood.
The Oak Ridge Boys provided backup vocals.
