I remember a short time in my youth when "evil" was the stand in for "good", then they moved on to "wicked."
I remember being soooo jealous of my cousin who lived with our grandma because they had satellite tv. It was with one of those giant dishes that took up a quarter of the backyard, but the choices were seemingly endless to me with my four stations. I also remember that at certain times of the day we had to readjust the dish to get another satellite. Good times.

In 1976 my dad bought a gold Cadillac. It had gold velour seats, and an 8 track tape player. It was the most fantastic thing I'd ever seen. Elvis would have loved it (or maybe had it). I remember when my dad installed an 8 track player in his Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. We used to listen to Kenny Rogers's "The Gambler" on it.

Anyone else grow up with WGN TV and WLS radio? I used to go home for lunch and watch Bozo's Circus. Can you imagine a kid leaving school now for lunch?. I've lived all my life in the Chicago suburbs and am 40-something, so I have fond memories of Bozo's Circus, as well as Garfield Goose, and Ray Rayner's show. Later, as a preteen/young teen, my memory of radio is of listening to Steve Dahl & Garry Meier skewer Larry Lujack and the like.

I got to go to Bozo's Circus in 1962 when I was in 2nd grade. The studio was quite small. And on the way out we passed the model Odeon Theater that they used for the afternoon cartoon show.

I remember haunting the record stores (remember them!) on Fridays when the WLS surveys came out.

Anybody else spend a significant amount of time on Saturday mornings listening to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 and watching American Bandstand and Soul Train?

Yes diva, every sat. My Hubby who was too cool for school,said he hated Solid Gold. I say no way, to him. The gold lamet alone had to put everyone in a crazy trance and you watched. Oh the 80's.

Raises hand! I remember listening to Casey Kasem with my Mom and sister back in the day. Hearing those shows again brings back so many memories.
