I was 20 years old, driving to Florida from WV in the Spring of 1975 and in Georgia when I realized I was rolling down Highway 41. It's in the middle of the night and I yell to the other two guys in the car, "Do you know where we are?! We're rolling down Highway 41 in Georgia !" Not sure the other guys got it till we were in Florida, but it was a big moment in time for me.

[@DixieDee]

I don't know why, but that is a good feeling. When you find yourself in a place that was spoken about in a famous song. haha. The other guys probably kicked themselves when they realized it later lol.

At the time it was just Rock. Country musicians didn't sound (or look) anything like this. Things evolve. It became country rock without the song changing. The world changed around it. Then things evolve further. Classic rock radio will still play it, and I'm glad they do. But if it came out brand new today, sounding exactly the same, I bet it would just be called Country without the rock.
