Ah man PIX. I discovered Joe Jackson, The Police, Squeeze,
The Jags and many other because of this great station.
My buddies and I would stay up late just to listen to
the new music that was blowing us away. Then the next
morning in school that is all we would talk about.
How far radio has fallen........
