Lady Writer

Another blast from the past? Okay.

This is another song that comes to us by way of WXRT's Saturday Morning Flashback. Some stats from 1979, which was the year in question, at the end of January.

  • A gallon of gas was 86¢
  • Inflation was 11%

This song is "Lady Writer" by Dire Straits from their 1979 album Communiqué. It was their second album, and was generally panned at the time. Compared to the stuff we get today, it is a masterpiece.
