Summary

What a long, strange musical trip it's been starting from a fetus' point-of-view (that would be me), rockin’ in the womb to 1946's Top Ten playing on the kitchen radio (out 'there,' on the 'other side' of the wall), all the way up to Bob Dylan's Christmas-killing Bringin' It All Back Home. Join me on this unstuck-in-time sentimenal journey which begins back in The Land That Pop Culture Forgot, a strange land of vacuum-tube "phonographs" and AM radios that take a full minute to warm up before they'll play, a vinyl-records-only landscape that is incapable of even imagining such a sci-fi concept of "stereo." And then journey on through the latter half of the Twentieth Century at a time when Pop Music was evolving from "How Much is That Doggie In the Window?" through "You Ain't Nothin But a Hound Dog!" and all the rest of the way over to Johnny's house, where "Johnny's in the basement, mixin’ up the medicine.” all the way up to Dylan's Christmas-ruining release of Bringin' It All Back Home.
