Song 788: This week on the playlist you can hear It Don't Matter to Me by Bread, written by David Gates, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. At the end of the summer break that followed my freshman year at Northwestern University, around this time 55 years ago, the radio began sharing the sound of a tasty quartet expressing their indifference to a certain other person's actions and it didn't take long to sing along with that disregard. The college only provided residence for first-year pupils, so at the time I had to move into an Evanston apartment a short distance from the campus and I shared an affordable place with a few fellow students. However, I did not have an empty room waiting for me in that place because I had to split my bedroom with another guy. Back then, I didn't know if time was on my side, but I did feel fortunate that at least I had gotten an economical place to reside in the college town.
