SAMBASSADEUR – EUROPEAN

While on a drive in my hometown recently, I discovered that something truly remarkable had happened to the radio. Well, oldies radio.
My trusted provider of decades-old Brill Building pop and doo-wop one-hit wonders had decided that oldies music had simply become, too old.
Worse yet, the torch had been passed on to radio real-estate extraordinaire Pink Floyd, who seemed content to gloat, “The time is gone / The song is over.” Oh, how right they were!
