Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Going Back 24 Years to 1986

Hard to believe, but that is almost a quarter century ago. Where does the time go?

This past Saturday, Wendy Rice went to this year on her Saturday Morning Flashback Show on WXRT, 93.1 FM, out of Chicago.

She does this every Saturday morning from 8 to noon. Not only does she play the music, but other XRT deejays have parts where they go to the movies, look at the news, list icons who died that year and, in addition, there are lots of facts from the particular year.

I was doing a lot of deejaying back in '86, so was doing a lot of listening to the radio to keep up with new new songs. And she played some great stuff:

YOU CAN CALL ME AL-- Paul Simon
SHIP OF FOOLS-- World Party

MISSIONARY MAN-- Eurythmics
STILL THE NIGHTS-- BoDeans

SLEDGEHAMMER-- Peter Gabriel
KISS-- Prince

WEST END GIRLS-- Pet Shop Boys
MEMPHIS THING-- Rob Junker

HARLEM SHUFFLE-- Rolling Stones

GUITAR TOWN-- Steve Earle
WILD THING-- Iggy Pop

More to Come. --RoadDog
