A song and music video of reflection and the good old days and fine times!

In 1996 rock band Smashing Pumpkins had a huge hit with "1979" the words are a joy about good times and thoughts a reflection of memories and feeling good it's like it's a throwback to yesteryear. The music video captures that just perfect by showing a group of teens driving around town just hanging out and having a good time. All of us can relate to this as memories of our past stay put and all of us often recall them while feeling a little down that they have past! This song and video captures those past times and former years so well!
