The song of the summer, 46 years later

As a vinyl enthusiast, I always see what's playing on the turntable at C&B CafĂ©, 178 E. Seventh St., just west of Avenue B.

Earlier this summer, during a coffee break, the needle dropped on Supertramp's classic 1979 album, Breakfast in America

The opening track, "Gone Hollywood," was playing while I waited inside. It stuck in my head and refused to leave, no matter what else I tried to put on repeat.

So, I've stopped fighting it and officially declared it the Summer Song of 2025.

It's just heartbreakingI should have known that it would let me downIt's just a mind-achingI used to dream about this town
