Sometimes my heart goes back to the late 70's and early 80's when I lived in New Mexico. Several hours away was Albuquerque, where I could explore Central Avenue, foraging through used bookstores and comic shops, discovering "Elfquest" and buying "Star Wars" bubble gum cards by the handful, beneath the always-awesome sight of the Sandia Mountains.
Albuquerque has probably changed a lot. Those favorite bookstores are no doubt gone -- and bubble gum cards no longer include bubble gum. But I was immediately reminded of those days by this song: an "oldie" I had somehow missed. Not only does it send me back those times, it also inspired some elements of Marsha RedFox's history. Enjoy.

I remember Dallas, 1982, there was a comic book store that had a copy of More Than Human signed by Theodore Sturgeon. It was there for at least a year, and I was always going to go buy it. But 12 bucks was a lot of money, and hey, I could always buy the book. Oh, but I was so much older then....
Heh, I was planning on following up to this comment by asking if you needed any holes filled in your collection. My family's in the middle of a move and we found a bunch of cards from that set among our things, but I just checked and they've been packed. At least I saved the duplicates from being thrown into a recycling bag! I don't know when they're going to be dug out of the box they were put in, but when they are, would you like if I checked for specific cards you might be missing?
this is really nice and a very good song too
I remember back in my childhood I used to have a couple of comic books that I would litterally read to death.
it was anything like marvel or dc they were actually nascar comic books that I got on two different trips me and my family went on.
one was a comic book about the story about the daytona international speedway and how nascar got it's start and talks about a few legendary drivers that I got on a trip to daytona beach florida
the other was a comic book on the story of legendary nascar racer bill elliot that I got at the bill elliot museum in dawsonville georgia.
those were the only comic books i had in my lifetime and i love them to death.
but now they're gone sucha shame I probably won't another comic book like those again for long long time.

Yes, quite a haunting "what might have been" song. Another in that category is Harry Chapin's "Sequel" (1980), (a follow-up to his 1972 hit "Taxi".)
"And the look on her face as she opened the door
Was like an old joke told by a friend
It'd taken ten more years but she'd found her smile
And I watched the corners start to bend"
