Tape Deck's Mixtape: Track 8 · 1:38pm May 19th
I love all the references to the geography of the coastline of the New England states in this song.
The Downeaster Alexa by Billy Joel, from the 1989 album Storm Front

Same album as his #1 hit “We Didn’t Start the Fire” in 1989? I don’t remember how it goes before listening to this now but I know it reached #57 on the Hot 100 in 1990 I think. We didn’t start the fire is a great song though.

Yep, the entire album (Storm Front, October 17, 1989 is great, though this song, We Didn't Start The Fire (of course), and Leningrad are my favorites from it.
Leningrad is practically the only song that can make me tear up a little bit.
Look it up sometime.
I will.
But what if I’m Kendrick Lamar?

Nice try; you aren't.
Another freaky coincidence between us is that I also do not know any foreign languages, except that I've studied some Latin like you have.

Are you my doppelgänger? Lol. If we ever hypothetically met in person, that means I would die in some folklore in Germany or something lmao.

It's also like that in every time travel movie ever made.
Do you like the movie Back to the Future? It spawned a number one hit on the Hot 100 in 1985 by Huey Lewis and the News “The Power of Love”.

I've seen part of it, I think. A long time ago.
And I've been meaning to check out Huey..., because I'm rereading Anthropology and they were mentioned.
I love Huey Lewis and news. They’re so 80s it almost hurts. The 80s might be my favorite decade for music, though it’s almost a tie with the 1970s. Lol

70s 80s 90s, late 60s, 00s If you're selective, even some 10's
They're all great.
But the 80s are special.
I love Billy Joel's music so much.
