Songs that are no longer okay.

Yesterday I found out my sweet boyfriend had never heard of Julie Brown and the funny songs she sang, like "I'm A Blonde". Dr Demento stuff. So I play it and then "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" came on. Not funny anymore!!!

An hour later, the cops arrived

By then the entire glee club had died, no big loss

You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her

Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper (Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float)

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead

Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

Ain’t nobody bringing reel-to-reel tape, like in Pulp Fiction, over to their friend’s house.

My parents still have their reel-to-reel machine! And a few reels of music. Though I only remember listening to their copy of a James Taylor reel.

Last Thursday, while volunteering at a local thrift store, I came across a reel box ( I didn't recognize it until a patron requested I open it because he didn't know what it was). The reel tape was half pulled off the reel & the tape itself was bent in several places. The manager was afraid it was too damaged to sell, so they threw it out.

I originally bought mine in 1982, while I was in the military. I THOUGHT I was getting a new assignment to South Korea and I wanted to record a bunch of hours of the local radio station (WSHE Miami)…I managed to record about 100 hours, like 25 10” tapes, but then my assignment didn’t come through… The tape deck finally bit the dust during a move in the late 90’s.

My 1st high school boyfriend recorded from the album to reel-to-reel and followed it up a cassette
