Dr. Ray and Andy will be teaming up for another car-themed radio show ~ “Dr. Ray’s Retro Roadtrip & Reunion!†~ one that promises to run the gamut from cars to music and all sorts of related items in-between. They always have a wonderful rapport that is fun to hear, so tune in to WRPI.org and give them a listen this afternoon and night – they start at 4 PM and go until they can’t go anymore. (In the past that’s brought them into the wee small hours of the earliest morning.) They occasionally take requests (I’ve asked them to play ‘Body Shop’ and ‘Turn Up the Radio’ more than they likely cared to indulge) and they have been good sports about including some sort of Madonna in their show, so this time I’m turning the turn-tables on them and dedicating this one from my blog to their radio program. It’s a little ditty from Tiffany, that Queen of Malls from the apex of the ‘80s. While best known for her remake of ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ and the heart-wrenching ballad ‘Could’ve Been’ she also put out this radio-friendly and radio-celebratory song entitled simply ‘Radio Romance.’
All that’s missing is a Radio Shack, and it could be 1988 all over again.
