KOME

[twirlgrrl]

I was just reminded of the now-defunct Bay Area radio station KOME. I used to listen to KOME when I was in high school. It was classic rock--basically Led Zeppelin--at the time. Sometimes the announcers would break in and say "K O M E 98 point 5" but they also had some great tag lines. You'd be listening to Another Brick In The Wall and all of a sudden a deep voice would boom "Don't touch that dial, it has KOME on it!" Another one was "Wake up with KOME in your ear. 98.5 FM." Seriously thrilling for those of us in the dorms at a religious boarding school. I couldn't believe they got away with saying that on the air!

As soon as I saw the title of your post and before I'd even read what you'd written the first thing that popped into my brain was "Don't touch that dial!"

Isn't shared experience a wonderful thing?

I love knowing you!
