Drew's World



There is a parallel universe somewhere, where a thinner and less "gone to the dogs" version of myself listens to one of those oldies radio stations that only play the highest ranking singles from the past. The alternative version of myself loves this station because in that reality things such as Keep On Keeping On, Stupid Thing, Forest Fire and There She Goes all topped the charts with whole load more that I could list that failed to entertain or inspire the great unwashed in ours.

In that other place in Apil 2004 this record came out of nowhere soared up the charts making it to the top in a fortnight and resided there for twenty four weeks until something equally deserving knocked it off.
