Top Dog Of '82

I had a teacher that used to sarcastically call our group of ruffians 'the top dogs of dog hollow'.  We seemed to think we ruled the school.  That thinking ended in May of 1982 when we graduated high school and got ready for the real world.  There are several that graduated that spring class that I have not seen since.  When I hear the tunes from that era, I am reminded of those crazy days.  When you were in the first 12 years of school, it seemed that time moved slowly.  Think about how fast the last 12 years have gone and you realize that your school days were just a blink.  They were your formative years though, and that is why the songs you grew up with remain special.

During Those Were the Days radio show this Saturday night, I will be going back to my glory year featuring tunes from groups such as: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts,  Hall & Oates,  J. Geils Band,  Asia, and many more.  I hope you can tune in for radio fun, your requests, and highlights from spring of 1982 from six until midnight Saturday night on Wrco FM 100.9 and wrco.com.
