hi!

More Wilbo! And Esoterica! Hooray!

hey bud!

This Katie Lee song is something!

And hi Esoterica and Wilbo and everyone

hey telegram/rob!

right? re: Katie lee?

Right! I was surprised it was from 1956. It sounded like a modern (2016 or 2026) sardonic/sarcastic take on the subject

More than one of my ex GF's had had a crush on Mark Wilde from his role as Jimmy in Puff n Stuff.

yo! me too. jack wild??

Oops, mixing up Mark Lester with Jack Wild.

oh yeah:)

I just tuned in and not sure I really want to know, but what college was Esoterica referring to where everyone played "The Wall". I laughed out loud when you said that...!

univ. of Delaware

1979

mu husband's first college haha

Ah! Thanks! LOL

until he transferred! That was too funny and all TOO TRUE, I'm sure!

he ended up going to f and m where the musical tastes were more varied haha

he actually did transfer

I always love the second week of the drive because by this point you’re all like “okay listeners buckle up, we’re getting weird with it”

hey Zach! ha yes

I was at Rutgers in 1977 and so many people would blast Springstein from their windows. But a guy down the hall from me played, Kraftwerk, The Cramps, Ramones, etc - LIFE SAVING!

oh that guy was cool, bob:)

but Springsteen likes suicide so go figure

I happen to like the boss

@Esoterica, your husband was probably a year ahead Tommy Conwell and Chris Christie at U of D.

wow would think my hubby is older lol

I remember this Ray Stevens song!!!

I do too, but I swear I didn't listen to him for 20 years after that because I heard it so much during those years

Streaking was such a fleeting national phenomenon. Dude did it at our high school basketball game and fell down the steps after the exit doors.

very first graduation at West Windsor Plainsboro HS, that exact thing happened. Dude grabbed his diploma and dropped his robe

haha

Happy birthday Mr. Osterberg/Iggy!

omg poor guy, sv!

I'd say there were 4 Stooges, 3 Howard brothers and Larry Fine. But there was one episode where Curly had a cameo on a train, post stroke with Moe, Larry and Shemp.

lol

Wow, Happy Birthday the Igg!

He is 79 today

wow

What a joyous show BAMMMM

heyyyy chef!!

This Vincent Price piece is SPOOOOKYYYYY

wooooo

..smokin' 🚬

yo, Dá Bəng Gôu

.. bare root cultivars are in season ..

Please welcome Roy Wood?!

Wow!

It's definitely a Move song!!!

chit chat

uyp

yup

are we boring?? lol

sweet!

Haughty?

What about the LL Cool J song "Going Back to Cali"?

it's from 1988 and he was born in 1968

He was born in Bay SHORE New York

“How are you gettin down to the shore?”

I picked up "SoCal" from reading Flipside fanzine in the 80s and 90s

You got a car now, cool

I've noticed if you grew up within say about a 20min drive to the beach, thats what you call it in Jersey. Anything further someone says the shore.

I've got a bitchin' camaro

https://pledge.wprb.com/

cool, Amy!

Pull over for Jersey drivers means Now! No matter what lane you're in ..

Growing up and learning to drive in northern Virginia, I gave cars with New Jersey plates extra room

That's just the way we like it Rob, thanks

It's a small state with a lot in it and we all have something important to do on the opposite side. zoom zoom.

Zach, hahahah

haha zach

Good evening

good evening!

Hello Esoterica! Hello everybody@

hey Marcus!!

You played 3 bands that were the holy grail of MTV in 1982: Missing Person ("Destination Unknown" was the video), "Romeo Void and Wall of Voodoo ("Mexican Radio" was the video). We would suffer through much to get to these back in the day

yup marcus

love them even if overplayed lol

oh dang wilby and eso baller duo

@Marcus..I recently heard Missing Person in a grocery store

sweet thanks Michael!

@Marcus..El Vez does a great copy of Mexican radio..same music, different lyrics
