I've always remembered us getting out and driving brand-new I-24 one evening, and I always figured Dad decided to get up there and drive it illegally after hours when the road workers maybe would've been home for the night. Alas, I feel certain this Page 1 Sun-Democrat photograph is what enticed us.
Similarly, not too many years later, we walked the aisles of Kentucky Oaks Mall on the first night it was open to the public, and I just could not believe that in the future we were going to have specialty fast-food places that sold only baked potatoes.
I was unaware of Bill Anderson's version of "Still the One," and it's probably my favorite Bill Anderson recording. Also, I really like this Wikipedia description of Johanna/John Hall lyrics ...
This was a great development for Paducah, and for me.
ReplyDeleteLikewise.

Gary Bender in St. Louis, about three months before Verne Lundquist's "He's got to be the sickest man in America" Super Bowl narration of Jackie Smith's drop with the Cowboys: ". Jackie Smith is beside himself! He thought he had a touchdown. He was fighting for everything. All of a sudden, the ball is jarred loose, and the Saints have come away with it."

ReplyDeleteThe lyrics of the uptempo love song are of someone (as the lyrics were written by a woman and sung by a man, it does not state the gender of the singer or of their beloved) describing their feelings for a person with whom they had and still have, a long-lasting relationship ("We've been together since way back when... Now I want you to know / After all these years"); with trust ("You're still the one / I want whispering in my ears"); that they are close ("You're still the one / I want to talk to in bed"); find them attractive ("Still the one that turns my head"); and of an intimate or sexual nature ("You're still the one / Who can scratch my itch / You're still the one, that I wouldn't switch") and all the reasons why their lover is "Still the One" for whom they have feelings.
