When I was 10 or 11, I wanted to hear "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas. I called a radio station request line and asked to hear it. The DJ responded with a noncommittal "I'll see what I can do."
I listened for about an hour, called again, and repeated my request. The DJ replied, "We'll see if we can get that on for you.
Another hour or so elapsed. I called and asked to hear "Dust In The Wind." The DJ responded evasively, "We'll see if we can do that."
Yet another hour went by. I called again and let the phone ring over 100 times. The DJ picked up but hung up without saying anything.
I never did hear "Dust In The Wind" that day. In retrospect, the fact that I'd never heard the station play it before should have tipped me off.
