Jim Croce song, “Roller Derby Queen”

“She was five foot six, two fifteen,
a bleach blonde bomber with a streak of mean.”

I hope they do bring it back. If only so the radio plays this song again.

In other news, plans are being made to revive the phonograph, 8 track tape, disco and bell bottom jeans for 1970s era fans.

which reminds me I've got to try and find my father's as a memento; he joined Dick Lane in the celestial coffee klatch just over two months ago, and the mug would make a nice keepsake.

Update from 2007 -- not only did I find Pop's mug, I found his "backup"....so Sis and I both have another treasured memento!
