Everything good was a little ragged and weird. It's a shame there's no weirder stuff out there today, although there almost definitely is and we just haven't met 2nd generation Jared Kappel to show it to us. Still, I can't listen to a new Foo Fighters single without thinking its been genetically engineered to appeal to everybody in a rock station demographic. They have mastered mediocrity, somehow, and its kind of setting the standard. Their songs take zero chances. Boo to that. I agree, the early 90’s were a pretty fantastic time for rock.

You forgot mention that the station was incidentally located at the lovers leap, dead end of your street. that sounded like a line from a Tom Waits - Who, I am sure I discovered from an identical mix tape by another dirty boy.

I used to listen furtively, and tape Def Leppard, Aerosmith, that one Love & Rockets song, Terence Trent D'arby, and strangely, Club Nouveau's "Lean on Me." The best part is hearing the DJ's voice on the fade-in or fade-out, then the little *zip* of me hitting the stop button.

Back in my day there was a big feud for the #1 spot. Was it going to be Duran Duran or stupid Def Leppard? I made it my 12-year-old mission in life to keep DD at NUMBER 1. WOOOOO.
