When I was in Junior High and sleepovers were the fashion for a 13th birthday, the highlight of a night at the girlfriend’s house was the call to the big radio station, WOW. Yes, it was a long distance call and we only got to make one. Yes, we got to request a song and ”dedicate” it to a boy.
All of this came to mind with a friend’s birthday being today and the reminder popping up on my I pad. Her family had a finished basement, so parties there were great! And if Carly Simon is singing, ”You’re So Vain,” I’ll bet every single one of us girls would travel back in time to those parties.
What fun to listen to the DJ spell out the request and dedication. Simple thrills.
