Song of the Day: 'Quit' (live) by the Waitresses


We just finished all four seasons of "WKRP in Cincinnati," a show I'd barely watched back in the day, even in reruns. It had all the hallmarks of an MTM production -- endearingly quirky characters, laughs that come from knowing the people, not from obvious "jokes" and smart dialogue. But as much as I enjoyed the series, seeing all of the various records and promotional items displayed in the deejay booth -- including the Pretenders, Blondie, the Go-Go's, Motels, Quarter Flash, Joan Armatrading, the Tubes and so on -- might have been my favorite part of all ... with Johnny Fever flipping through a stack that included the Waitresses' "Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful?" perhaps the best of all!

Lost in the ‘70s



Saw these nostalgia-laced photos from the so-called World’s Largest Disco on “Fake Jan” Geri Reischl’s Facebook page.



It seemed fitting that Howard Hessman and Loni Anderson would be on hand at this event in Buffalo, N.Y., seeing as Damian and I are nearing the end of watching all four seasons of “WKRP in Cincinnati” (uneven but highly entertaining).



I suppose the Brady kids — Fake Jan notwithstanding — are gearing up for their upcoming HGTV show.



Not entirely sure what the event is all about, but I never question an opportunity to see Lisa Whelchel in the wild!
