When I was in 6th grade we returned from Thailand. I was back in school and my friends were all talking about a radio show. It was called the Dr. Demento Show.
I started listening.
Everything in the world changed. The show was wacky, funny, and made me laugh. It opened the door for me and i would later add the works (radio, novels and other formats) of Douglas Adams. I would later add Tom Robbins and his unique blended style.
All because of the good Dr.

My father banned many songs being played when I was young, particularly loud. But this song he banned twice (first with the TURN THAT DOWN) and later with the (DON’T play that song anymore)!!!!

Not everyone can have the same taste in music. I certainly would not seek out a song about fish heads but if someone asked me to listen to it I certainly would.
Dr. Demento was big in NYC did you ever listen?
No, I didn’t I was more tuned into Cousin Brucie if you remember him.
I remember Cousin Brucie. i modeled some of my radio show after his stuff!
Apology accepted. Everyone has their own taste for music. 😊
I loved that radio show so much – this one is one of my favs from that show
I also have a popular radio station that many people don’t like. 😊
When I was a DJ (on the radio) many years ago, my show was very much a call and request strange songs show. I was on the air at 12 midnight to 5 am. so other than the night workers and I no one was up.
we had a blast with odd songs.
It must have been a very interesting experience.
In the world of Radio – not so much. They don’t do an overnight demo (short for Demographics) so my show was based wholly on how many calls ins we got. I averaged nearly 3 times as many as the person before me (calls ins) and way way more than the person after me.
That was the only job in my entire life I got fired from.
You also seem to be talented at working on the radio (depending on your successes).
i am really good at talking. So radio was perfect for me!
No need to apologize for sharing your favorites. 🙂
even if it is a song about fish heads?
