This latest stretch of episodes, by getting into music released during our childhoods (though I was still a baby at this point) is also getting into music that I have primarily listened to on cassette tapes. So my primary association for Graceland is being driven around in my father’s 1988 Nissan Maxima. His name, by the way, is Alfred…but most people call him Al.
