OK, here’s the deal. I only listen to talk radio. I mean, I ONLY listen to talk radio. I haven’t listened to music radio since I was a young teenager. When I bought a new car with a six-disc CD changer, my brother seriously asked me, “Do you even have six CDs?” (No.) I have a mixed CD with five songs on it – and two of them are the same song.
(So, Brian, it’s not because I don’t love you that I never leave any song requests on your Facebook page, I just don’t know any songs. Can I request old radio talk show themes? I’d love to hear the old KFI Bill Press song.)
So get this – Adam Carolla had a musical guest today. And I’ve heard of him!
But for a totally geeky reason.
In the summer of 1987 I went to Disneyland nearly every single night to watch this band, Polo, perform at the Tomorrowland Terrace. The drummer of the band was a 15-year old Josh Freese. (Coincidentally, he also lived across the street from me.)
Ignore that mullet-sporting guy and look at Josh playing the drums. (And check out the Skyway in the background.) I think they’re playing Little Red Corvette.
And just for fun, here’s a picture of me with another member of the band. I think his name was Kevin. Love those 80s, maan.
Hahahaha, 1986-1987 were my favorite years when I was a kid.
Like when you pulled my feet from under me when I was learning how to walk?
Oh, Brett. You could already walk by 1986. Brian must have had some other method of torture for you in those years.
I may be able to scrounge up that Bill Press theme/ intro for you. My fiance, Dick Cabeza a.k.a. Tim Kelly was his producer on KFI for a very long time…I’m sure he has it around here somewhere!
Cool, thanks Michelle.
