IMHO, here is my take on things. (RE: Disco 103)

["Peter Q. George" <radiojunkie3@yahoo.com>]

     Chuck Wagon and the Wheels!!  Now that brings
back memories.  Dr. Demento used to play that song
during the fall of 1978.  I loved "Country Swings"
backed with "Disco Sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks, Disco
Sucks.....".  I had a copy (cyber type) of "Country
Swings, Disco Sucks" without the disco-type music
parody that followed the Country section of the song.

     WODS seems to really put a lot of stock on
Barry's type of music during normal format hours, as
of late.  I grew up during the time of the Disco
craze, myself.  (I personally hated the music!  It was
a fad.)   I think Boston needs a new Oldies station
a-la WSAI.  With 50's and pre-'64 music all but being
ignored as of late, maybe someone with enough chutzpah
could do something about it.  It doesn't have to be FM
(probably wouldn't be FM anyway).  Maybe 1510? With
things at WWZN kinda somewhat tough right now, it's
within the realm of possibility. Who knows?

    Maybe 890 would be a good candidate.  This is the
only signal (day and night) left that could be good
enough to hit the Boston area Metro (except the folks
in 'OTW land and points west).  I'm sure however that
it will go Espanol, again.  Of course. forget 1150. 
That station is going to Salem for Conservative Talk.

    When WROR (the original one) switched to full-time
oldies in the spring of 1973 (after being a 50/50
oldies station), I first wondered who would ever
listen to "that stuff"?  Well, a few months later, I
was hooked on it!  I was 13 at the time.  Sure, I
loved the music of the day a-la 1973, but I saw that
classic gold music was something very special. When
"American Graffiti" came along in the fall of '73, the
music was in-vogue, once again.  It was, and still is,
great music.  It deserves better treatment than the
way it is being treated now. That's my opinion and I'm
sticking with it. 73.
