Obscure culture alert: Today, a song from my earlier days that was not in the top ten, escaped the black hole of radio programming and came through on my tinny Subaru speakers. I was transported back to junior high and I slowly mouthed the lyrics. It was….it was…holy crap, it was “Pilot of the Airwaves” by one-hit wonder Charlie Dore! (peaked at #13 in 1980)

Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don’t have to play it
But I hope you’ll do your best

This was followed up later by a guest voice appearance of Thomas Pynchon on The Simpsons. Crazy.
