radio radio

In German, "Rundfunk"....the spark that goes around the world.....in early 1950's Carolina, we didn't have a television, just a brown bakelite Zenith.....Buck Rogers, Gene Autry, Roy Rodgers, Jack Benny, Arthur Godfrey, Art Linkletter, "How much is that doggie in the window", "I don't know why I swallowed a fly", Tarzan? was he on the radio, I seem to remember his jungle call before TV.....Tom Corbett and his Space Cadets....cut off a part of the cereal box and send it in for the decoder ring....Dick Tracy? or was that just a comic strip?......on Dog Star radio nowadays they play this spot where a girl is talking about how one of the most important parts of her childhood was when she grew tall enough to reach the radio on the kitchen counter, so she could turn it on and listen to music all the time.....AM top forty through school, and later FM.....KPPC in college, Pasadena Presbyterian Church....that's where that came from, the first L.A. "underground album rock".....they played "Light My Fire" at midnight every night.....KROQ, the "Rock of the 80's", broadcasting from on top of Mt. Wilson.....which brings me to why I started this rant....Sirius XM has switched the DJ time slots around I guess, so I'm hearing the wrong voices at the wrong times of day.....the old DJ's given a new life in their old age on the space radio.....radio is better than TV, 'cause you can read a book and listen at the same time....or you can play the radio while football is on TV, and you don't have to hear the commercials, and the game is better with a rock soundtrack anyway.....
