I could not think of a more appropriate song to end this week, what with the summer solstice occurring this weekend and the fact that it is EVER LOVIN’ HOT!!
Besides, if this doesn’t put a smile on your face, you’re hopeless.

Music of that sort reminds me that in my youthful days the ladies were all burning their bras.I was just thinking today that ,regretfully,they’ve pawed through the ashes and donned them again,now that gravity has played it’s part.’Course,those days were pre Lovin’ Spoonfuls.

Whenever I hear this song it makes me think of summer dance team practice in high school, outside in 90+ degrees. Just for fun, the coach would weigh us before and after. If we didn’t drop 5 lbs she’d make us run laps saying we hadn’t worked hard enough.
No problem for me. Even when the music stopped, I was still dancing.

I always thought Summer In The City was one of those songs that melded the mood with the music perfectly. It’s especially good the way the musical dynamic switches back and forth between day and night.
Speaking of hot Georgia summer’s 1980 was awfully hot and 1967 was hot and dry but my grandparents always said 1925 was the hottest and driest summer they knew of.

But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn’t make any noise

Oh well, for what it is worth, my gang used to be weary of the “cabbage town” hold overs. We called them “cabbity creeps”. To this day, they are still there. The most savage fight I have ever been in was near those smoke stacks. My buddy took a skakeboard right to the face. It was so loud that everybody stopped scuffling and the cabbity creeps took off. I remember that my buddy’s head swole up almost twice its normal size and his whole face was mush. I also remember trying to roll him down boulevard to the hospital on 3 skateboards and policemen passing us by. A cop finally stopped and we got him into the car and he made it to the hospital. We ran. That same dude was later busted stealing a skull out of Oakland Cemetary.

jt: “Did you give an answer on most influential Southern Lit piece?
I think I’m with “Intruders”.”
Where ’bouts? I’ve given so many comments of late…:-)
Hey! Good to hear from ya!
I went with “Intruder in the Dust” as the most influential in my own life, The Unmentionable went with “To Kill a Mockingbird,” again in the personal arena. That’s really a hard one to answer when you’re talking about what is arguably the single most influential school of literature in the 20th Century.
Now, if you asked me which one I LIKED the most, it would be hands-down “A Confederacy of Dunces.”
More than just the native’s pride, Mississippi towers above them all: Faulkner, Wright, Williams, and Welty and there. Faulkner, of course, is the giant and as far as his “most influential.” it’s probably “Absalom, Absalom.” In African American letters, Richard Wright’s “Native Son” is in a category all its own. Tennessee Williams revolutionarized English language drama and I think most would agree that “The Glass Menagerie” tops the list, but “Cat” is still my favorite. As for as
Eudora Welty is concerned, it is more her body of work, yet, for me, the short story “Why I Live at the P.O.” is about one of the best works in print when it comes to the Southerner’s love of a tale well told.
For the Georgians, Carson McCullers’ “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” certainly captures that Southern angst better than just about any. Flannery O’Connor “wrote the book” so to speak on the
Southern gothic. When it comes to popular literature and the romantic epic, Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind is without parallel. Sadly, though, perhaps the most “influential” insofar as the South’s detractors are concerned is Erskine Caldwell’s “Tobacco Road.”
Finally, probably the most influential of all is the “father of Southern literature,” Mark Twain.
This is just off the top of my head.
