Not with a whimper, but a bang!
This is R.E.M.'s best song imo. A comment I found on youtube about the song: From Wikipedia "Losing My Religion" is about "someone who pines for someone else. It's unrequited love, what have you."[7] Stipe compared the song's theme to "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, saying, "It's just a classic obsession pop song. I've always felt the best kinds of songs are the ones where anybody can listen to it, put themselves in it and say, 'Yeah, that's me.'"
Pining away !
I just listened to the guys singing this song at what is obviously a much later point in time and the song sucks in comparison to the original version. Different lead singer changed the sound a lot. I didn't know it until today but the band members of this group changed about as regularly as most people change socks and underwear.
Man, that car sure brings back memories ! SS 396
My cousin had one of those and it was a hoss (375 horsepower iirc). I made a trip of about 18 miles on a very crooked road with it in 17 minutes if they were telling the truth (I wasn't looking at any watch, just driving). Wouldn't try to do it today but back then I was invincible (and dumb). Only reason I did it then was because my cousin had brought a couple of young girls up for a visit and one of their dad's said she had to be back home by dark. We got down to the county seat and the water pump went out on it so by the time we got one and got it in it was getting late. Bobby (my cousin) knew that I knew that road lots better than he did since I lived here and went down there regularly so he asked me to drive. And get back as soon as I could. I don't think those two girls opened their eyes on the way back, lol!
70-74 had a 69 hemi-RoadRunner tunnel ram 2 Holley 850s, Crower roller cam, TRW pistons, Hooker headers, Mallory dual point almost all work done by Chuck's Speed Center when they were still on 7th st. 1973 wife bought a stock 70 hemicuda dirt cheap at Bill Luke Chrysler-Plymouth. Of course gas back then was 23 to 45 cents a gallon. What I wouldn't give to have these two cars back today. Paid $1800 for the RR with just headers in 70 when it was only 8 months old and we got the cuda for $3200.
1950 Merc 4-door sedan 1964 Riviera 1972 GMC Sprint SS 1967 MB 230SL 1975 BMW 2002 1979 Fleetwood Brougham All awesome, in their own right.

rides I should have kept -
Replies to Comment # 41. Here is the "car" I wish I had kept (one just like this one anyway, 65 model Electra Glide--first year of the electric start, last year of the panhead engine. They make beautiful choppers).
