Rate Your Music score: 3.32 out of 5!
Hearing this lost hit again reminds me of the Saturday in early 1990 when we drove to Frankfort and learned just how babyish our state legislators are.
We didn't go there to meet with lawmakers. I think the ones from our area were probably a lost cause anyway. As proud Kentuckians, we just wanted to see our capital city.
The real amusement took place when we visited the Kentucky State Capitol building. While I was in this great domed building, nature called. When I was using the men's room, I noticed a couple funny things. The first thing I saw was that the window was propped open with a perfectly good roll of toilet paper. Then I noticed that someone had locked a stall door from the inside and crawled out underneath. It's the same thing people did in elementary school. But that time, it must have been a state legislator who did it.
Anyone who wanted to unlock the stall door would have had to crawl into the stall under the door. In the Kentucky State Capitol building, of all places!
It's nice to know we elected 6-year-olds to public office.
In 2017, I was invited to a conference in Washington, D.C., in which I met with congressional staffers. When I used the men's room in the Russell Senate Office Building, I noticed that somebody - most likely a senator - had covered the toilet seat with toilet paper and peed all over it. I repeat: This was in the ornate Russell Senate Office Building.
Let that sink in.
But it was during my 1990 outing that the radio was blasting in the front seat and turning out the music fine. You always remember what songs were big during events that took place during the heyday of pop radio.
