I thought that over the next few weeks I might feature some of the songs which I was particularly fond of when I was a kid. I dare say my taste in music as a kid didn’t align with any of my peers, and in fact I have been told many times that I was born middle-aged and there’s probably a grain of truth to that.
As a kid I went through a phase where I wanted to grow up to be a bus. Not a bus driver, but a bus. I would run around the school playground being the bus on the 333 intertown route through Canberra with specific parts of the playground acting as various stops along the way. So with that in mind, it’s probably not surprising that I was fond of Red Simpson’s song “I’m a truck” which tells a story from the truck’s point of view rather than the driver’s point of view.
