I was listening to nostalgie.fr today, and heard them play Jerry Rafferty's Baker Street and some tune from "Grease," sung by Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.I remember these well, since they were popular exactly 30 years ago this week, when I began university. The Rolling Stones' Miss You, Bob Seger's Hollywood Nights, and Nick Gilder's Hot Child in the City were also big that week. Nick Gilder just played a show here a couple of weeks ago, the Rolling Stones still tour, and like I said, Gerry Rafferty and the "Grease" soundtrack are still being played on the radio. Thirty tears before 1978 was 1948. We didn't hear anything remotely close to what was on the radio in 1948 back when I was 17. We didn't even listen to anything from as far back as 1968 in those years. I see kids today with Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin and Ramones t-shirts, which would have been like my buddies and me wearing Artie Shaw gear 30 years ago. What's going on?

Yes. Even those who aren't mouldy figs like me should like something on our station's playlists, especially if you like Indie rock or world music. [Baker Street is on the radio again!] http://www.cfcr.ca/

You must have been listening to "So Many Roads," our Folk, Country and Blues show that airs on weekday mornings.
We have a killer reggae show on Friday nights. One of our Tuesday afternoon hosts should be syndicated nationally. Check out "Tin Cans and Twine," hosted by Shakey Wilson and Shoulder Crow. quote: ...as was Bob Welch's French Kiss album ...
Is that record any good? I've never heard the whole thing, but I used to look at the record in stores, staring at the jacket...wishing I had some hot babe like the one on the cover sticking her tongue in my ear. I don't know if a little CD cover could get quite the same...ummm, selling point...across today. [ 09 October 2008: Message edited by: al-Qa'bong ]
