    Life Is A Rock & The Radio Rolled Me

    1976 by Reunion. Just heard it and it brings back childhood confusion! Couldn’t understand a word back then. The arrangement now is awful and the bad segue in the middle makes me cringe.

    Anyone else remember it? The Age of Disco died when that played.

    Now playing is Dreamweaver by Gary Wright. Rock? Nope. Disco? Nope. Great when high? Oh yeah!

      Hey Pam, I remember this song well. I can't find the longer version. FYI. It came out in 1974.

              Crazy lyrics and you know they were stoned when writing that! I remember hearing it on the deck in our house in Long Island. I left there in 1975 when we moved to Massachusetts. That's why 1976 didn't make sense but the Reunion version was 1976 according to MusicChoice tv. I was too young for it to make sense but hearing it, you know why.

              I need to use my ten-year-old iTunes gift cards and download it and others. Thanks for the lyrics.
