In the late 1970s and early ‘80s, I often found myself with friends playing variations of football or baseball in the street up from my house, or basketball in a driveway or at the park. A radio tuned to a Top 40 station provided the soundtrack to most of those games. It was rare, in that timespan, for an #OliviaNewtonJohn song not to be among the featured tracks. Check out these stats: From 1978 and “You’re the One That I Want,” the hit Grease duet with John Travolta, through 1983 and “Twist of Fate” (from her Two of a Kind movie reunion with the former Danny Zuko), she scored 13 Top 20 hits, including three No. 1s.

On this date in 2015, June 21st, we had tickets to see #PaulMcCartney at the Wells Fargo barn in South Philly, but Diane was under the weather. So I took my mom! She was 75 at the time, not a McCartney/Beatles fan per se, though she remembered seeing them on Ed Sullivan, but a McCartney/Beatles fan by osmosis (when I was a kid, everyone in the house usually heard what I played). She loved the show, though she thought it a tad loud.
