I smile when remembering that in the late '80s, Joe Jackson's song, "On Your Radio," was my idea of cutting-edge broadcasting. About 35 years ago, I heard it on KDHX and thought, "Hmmm...Interesting. This song wasn't a hit, and KDHX is playing it. Lyrically, it's a satisfying way to say that once you become an adult, you get to decide with whom you associate more often, and you can leave a lot of irritating people from your past in the past."
Actually, "On Your Radio" is still pretty satisfying. Its cathartic tone isn't that far removed from a particular Ben Folds song.
