With the weather warming up and driving on the parkway becoming more common, take a trip down memory lane to have a good time in the backseat of your dad’s car. Roll the windows down and enjoy as the nostalgia blows through.
Comfort tunes from the ‘70s to the early 2000s are a perfect way to feel like a kid passenger once again. Rock classics like “Goodbye Stranger” by Supertramp and “Life’s Been Good” by Joe Walsh combine with sing your heart out classics “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John and “Fat Bottomed Girls” by Queen to set the perfect middle-aged dad vibes in whatever car you might be driving. Put on your favorite oversized band tee and get in the car for this ride through time.
We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in October 2024!
We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.
Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.
If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
