I dont know how to listen to the radio anymore. If there was good music on there, I don't think I could put up with the trash talk and the commercials long enough to hear it. Sad, because I grew up attached to one. First it was WRKO (Dale Dorman); then FM came on strong (WVBF was the local station -- double-u-vee-bee-eff/stereo-one-oh-fie-eee-eye-eye-ive!). Then WBCN, then WXRT in Chicago which, in the late 70's, was probably the greatest FM station going..then on to Tampa, WQSR, and whatever station Russ Albums (of The Wax Museum fame) was on..

In the 90's and early 00's I was on a Christian-only kick, which was fortunate because some of the best pop and alternative at the time happened to be Christian -- and it was probably the best Christian music ever, too.

Then the iPod came along and you know happened then...

Oh, wait, silly me - I do listen to the "radio" - on my iPhone. Jazz 88.3 out of San Diego. The best station on the planet. Got turned on to jazz -- the real deal -- thanks to them. About half of everything I've bought in the past two years I've heard on that station. So I guess radios not dead after all...

My word! Haven't thought of him in years...

"The Big Matress", the Off-The-Wall theatre in Harvard Square, Revere Beach in July meant a trip to "The Clam Box", "The Combat Zone"...

Back when Boston was a ball!

The Kenyan must go.
