Marvin Gaye. I wasn’t allowed to listen to the radio until 1983. I still remember the road we were on when this song came on the radio in my dad’s 1978 Volvo. I was sure that it would be the end of me listening to popular music. And it got worse (at least in my mind) when it was immediately followed by the Rolling Stones “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”. I couldn’t understand what Mick Jagger was saying, but it sounded to me like “I can’t get no sex with side show”, which is so true. Wait, what? That, of course, made no sense, but, wasn’t that the 80s? Sense is overrated. Let’s just enjoy some M. Gaye and call it a day. “I can’t hold it much longer…It’s getting stronger and stronger”…
