This is kind of music I expect would have at one time been standard fare on the radio for a round trip across the country, something you could easily have heard once an hour by flipping through radio station.
"Even though "Convoy" is sung by a fictional character and its story is fantastic, Fries' use of trucker lingo resonated throughout popular culture β by the end of the 1970s, millions of Americans had used a CB radio. Sure, "Convoy" is a novelty song, but it topped the pop and country charts and became a phenomenon, inspiring movies and TV shows. It's also an improbable protest song β an asphalt fable of workers pushing back at a system that always seems to lean on them the hardest."
Because the 1990s weren't that long ago. Back before I had so many gray hairs.
