I refuse to accept that 1997 was SEVEN years ago. How can that possibly be?!
Anyway, what got me thinking of '97 was a one hit wonder from that year on Retro Lunch (I can't get over that all my favorite songs are now "retro") that I was very excited to hear. It was White Town's "Your Woman," which, if you don't remember, was one of those out-of-nowhere weird songs that popped up from time to time in the mid- to late-nineties. It's also the one that sounded like the Imperial March from Star Wars. Ringing any bells? Great song.
(If you don't know what I am talking about, but still want to, go download the track from iTunes. It's worth a buck. And while you're there, "pick up" Less Than Jake's "B Is for B-Sides," only $7.99!!)

Bil, that song definitely rings my bell. Ahhh…white town. It’s a song that played during huge events in my life. 1997 was the year of Great Change. I too am consistently surprised by the “retro” music at noon. Wasn’t that song popular just a year ago??
It only gets worse. Wait until years from now 19 year old kids are looking back at fashion trends when you were in high school like it was another era and “ironically” dressing that way for parties and whatnot.
Like the day all the younger kids in the house I lived in had an “80s party” and I realized none of them ACTUALLY REMEMBER THE 80s was the day I realized I was officially old.
