As much as I'm a fan of technological progress, complete with telecom deregulation and free-market competition in all its glory, that doesn't mean I can't be a little nostalgic for the salad days of long distance operators and person-to-person. The days when "he's on the other line" really did mean there was an actual other line. And "it's long distance" meant you dropped everything and ran to the phone.

Yeah, I know it's a cover, but I like this version best. Even better than Chuck Berry's. So sue me.
