Radio shame

Have you ever been dial surfing and find yourself lingering over the SCAN button a little too long when Hootie and the Blowfish comes on the station with Today’s Hits and Yesterday’s Favorites, because it reminds you of cruising I-75 in your mom’s Dodge Caravan, headed to Detroit to buy clogs?

Me neither.

I also never leave it on Billy Joel, tapping my foot in time rather than singing so the other drivers can’t see. I would never find myself stopped at a red light, tearing up when Touch of Grey comes on 100.7 The Bay and feeling very sorry for myself that Jerry Garcia died. And I would never, ever, not in a million years would I pause while SEEKing to listen to Elton John, Journey or Rush. Or possibly all three in succession.

No, definitely not, that never happens. Just wanted to make that clear.

Of course Touch of Grey is a teary song…just ask HWSRN, the biggest Deadhead of them all. He’s also still bummed that Phish broke up. I mean, come on, man!

Seriously, the Hootie song? Much shame, but still very reminiscent of the bad old days and shopping for clogs. Which, incidentally, we all still wear.

I would never tear up & sing along to Candle in the Wind, either. Never.

I freely admit liking Elton John.

I’ve been to therapy. Got my certificate. It’s all good.

As a Toledo girl, you’re also required not to shake your hair to Foghat, FYI
