    Freebird, 1973. I didnā€™t get the interval reference.

    Caulfield knows of Dave Brubeckā€™s ā€œTake Fiveā€ one day, but not ā€œFree Birdā€ on the next..?

    This mightā€™ve been a better straight line for one of the other random kids.

    Itā€™s like the ED ads say: ā€œIf you know Freebird, ask your doctor if it is safe for you to run intervals.ā€

    ā€˜Free Birdā€™ got old years ago. But leave it to Mr. Mallett to be pompous about it.

    I know a synth song called ā€œIntervalsā€ by the B**chinā€™ Bajas.

    Does anyone remember the billboards from the early 90ā€™s reading ā€œHONK If you hate Freebirdā€ It was a nationwide campaign, put up by one of the massive radio station conglomerates.

    Hey! People who like ā€œFree Birdā€ can still do interval training. The song is not actually my favorite. But songs of that era are often pretty damn amazing.

    Took me a long time to realize just which song was Free Bird. Not playing attention to the lyrics.

    Maybe not pompous. It sounds a bit like age-bashing to me: something that has become acceptable in some circles, though it is inaccurate. There are people of ā€œthat ageā€ who can still run intervals, just as there are young people who canā€™t lift themselves up off the couch.

    As for me, I like Freebird, and I donā€™t give a tinkerā€™s damn what anyone thinks. I also love Brubeck, Bach, the Beatles, Cole Porter, Paul Simon etc., etc., etc. I donā€™t give my broken wind in a windstorm who else like what unless you want to have an intelligent conversation about musical evolution. You donā€™t like my choices? Perhaps you can just go live your judgmental life elsewhere! What a drag to hear people denigrating other peopleā€™s musical choices. Chacun a son gout, my friends.
