25th Anniversary of Saturday Morning Flashback

CONGRATULATIONS TO WENDY RICE AND SATURDAY MORNING FLASHBACK!!!

This really fine show is celebrating its 25th year today, having first aired June 1, 1985. I listen to it most Saturdays and have been known to record an occasional four-hour segment for later listening. Talk about a great way to take you back to a particular year in your life.

Not only are there the songs, but also insightful tidbits of information as well as Rock and Roll Obituaries, News, Going to the Show with the Regular Guy and others.

Wendy Rice is the long-time host, but didn't start the show, which was originally done by two disc jockeys, the one on from 6 to 10 am and then the 10am to 2 pm person. It was not intended to be a permanent show, but as Wendy said, like most stuff at the station, it just kind of grew into it.

Great show. Give it a listen on WXRT 93.1 FM. The show is on from 8 am to noon every Saturday.

Today's show takes us back 25 years to 1985. I wonder why? Absolutely great year for music AND YOU COULD STILL BUY IT ON VINYL!!

I see that the leader of the Fratellis, the group that does "Chelsea Dagger," the song that Blackhawk fans love, will be doing a free show tomorrow at Metro in Chicago. But, you have to get a ticket from WXRT.


Thanks Wendy and WXRT. Mighty Fine, Mighty Fine. --RoadDog


I Wonder: Why is bra singular and panties plural?
