Most U.S. radio stations banned the song not long after its release. And yet this evening I found myself listening to it, some 40+ years later, while driving westbound on the freeway, right through the middle of Detroit.
That's the nice things about these internet stations.

You hears these rarities who usually don't hear on the radio.
