I liked her "It's The Right Time Of The Night" even more. RegardsSo, I have posted previously about my disdain for modern commercial radio stations. I used to travel a big to western VA and came to the conclusion that CT radio stations aren't just bad, but epically bad.
Hotel CA, War Pigs, Bohemian Rhapsody, Jet Airliner all beaten to death; I don't even want to hear them anymore. If you are going to play Dream Weaver, don't cut off the final bass note; If you don't know that it is a musical resolution to a song, then you ought not to be in broadcasting.
I live in Southern CT, across from eastern LI and there is quirky radio station called WLNG that still uses 1950's jingles and still reads local obituaries including times and places of the services.... really. A true gem. LI is close geographically, but a world away because CT and LI share a sound, but there isn't much overlap.

Today, I left work in somewhat of a fugue state and tuned in; they queued up the following gem and it transported me back
Note to modern female song writers: No need to throw shade, make veiled references to past relationships, just come out and say it. "I'm not putting up with your BS"
I was in college then too Dog and know exactly what you are talking about. I stopped listening to the radio in the late seventies and haven't had a radio on at home or in the car for years. Nothing to listen too but whaling country vocalist who sound ill.I know I'm dating myself but here goes... In 1962, we moved to a college town in the midwest. My mother always had a table radio in the kitchen, and it was perpetually on in the daytime. The local AM radio station played the top 40, interspersed with local news and advertising. Top 40, or at least that station's interpretation of top 40, was a great mix of pop, rock, folk, country, comedy, you name it. You would hear Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra followed by the Beatles or Beach Boys, then Johnny Cash, Skeeter Davis, and maybe a comedy track by Bob Newhart. There was no repetitive playlist because they had a live DJ who apparently had carte blanche to play what he wanted or to take requests from the local college students. The students phoned in lots of Beatles requests along with Peter, Paul and Mary and other folk groups. I listened to that station daily until I left home. To this day I miss this sort of free form programming.
