Song 824: This week the playlist features Fooled Around and Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop, who also wrote the song, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. In the middle of the frigid season of early 1976 in the Windy City area, I often spent a lot of time behind the wheel, and in doing so, I got to hear some pleasing musical rambles coming from the radio speakers, including one that slyly admitted some frolicking which led to an amorous obsession. I understood and relished the implications of that tuneful confession. Back then, I could have imagined having access to a million girls if I achieved the kind of success the tune's lead singer had, which I thought I deserved, and I wouldn't have cared how much they cried if they did so in response to me treating them as heartlessly as Mr. EB had done - their tears would have left me cold as a stone.
