In the immortal words of David Bowie- "...I am a DJ, I am what I play..."

In this 70’s show about a fictional radio station WKRP the cast is gearing up for their first WKRP hosted rock show. SCUM is the “punk” band from England.
First thing that tickled my fancy about the band is I noticed Michael Des Barres (husband of infamously cool groupie/author Pamela Des Barres) plays Dog, the punk rock hooligan and vocalist for SCUM. Michael was in many real rock bands including Power Station, Silverhead, Detective and Checkered Past.
The theme’s they touch on in the show are “is this punk rock music”, “is this bad behavior for real”, and “is this what’s popular.” Watch the show which I included a link, and you tell me what you think!
I miss disc jockey’s, radio stations…I liked the early days…the low-fi-ness of it all. I used to read Creem (poorly written, super sexist, but super cool), I had posters of pictures from Rolling Stone Magazine on the back of my bedroom door- went to sleep confiding in David Bowie, Prince, Kajagoogoo…and Peter Gabriel.
I’m kind of excited about the possibilities about PODCAST’s and I swear if I had some extra time or some help, I’d be right on it.
I get nostalgic for the past but I have a feeling there is some good stuff on the horizon…I just hope I won’t be too old to partake of it!

*Comment with your memories of super DJ jocks, radio stations and radio events that added to the photo album of your mind. Larry Lujack, Steve Dahl and Terri Hemmert and a few of my favorites…I also loved WLUP and WLAK…V103…WXRT has survived…they still are number one for me!
