Songs and scents can stir up emotions and can make you recall your past with unequalled clarity.
I was wondering what the first song MTV played was, I know I heard it in a tv program, but here is the play list.

The Doobie Brothers song "What a fool believes" may not be on the list, but is sure reminds me of dawn patrol surf sessions. I can smell the sea spray at this very moment.

Dennis do you remember what song was playing when the picture was taken.

Maybe "The Wall"?

"Hot Blooded"
