I thought it might be a good idea to give people an overview of my musical history. But this is coming from a guy who also thought it was a good idea to have American Gladiator night at the retirement home. The hamster ball event went down smoothly, it was the Eliminator that really ruined the night. R.I.P. Estelle, you should have picked the door on the left you have no one to blame but yourself...and Herman...because that was a vicious hit son!!! *Chest Bumps Herman*
I grew up on Golden oldies, the station was called Cool 101, and the DJ's had names like the Big Bopper and the Godfather. Those deep baritone voices of the Casey Kasem era. Your typical golden voiced dude, spitting lines like,
"Comin up next we got the Temptations with "My Girl." "This is the Godfather hoping you and YOUR girl stay cooooool." You could hear the fake cheese oozing over the airwaves but it felt so comfortable. That's what DJ's sounded like. They were Shooter Mcgavins constantly firing at you.
After listening to our soothing music we all went to the hop and acted racist, right before we drag raced and got buzz cuts. Ohhh the good old days, with those gas shortages, wars, and outright racism, I miss them like I miss my subservient, well manicured, always baking something awesome wifey. Shout out to June!!
The station played pop hits from the 50's and 60's. I remember getting down to some Little Anthony and the Imperials, "Tears On My Pillow."
