Coolio, I took my first breath on June 20th 1980 in Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge Civil War.

Shark – the jocks on WXXQ that summer were too busy to be talking – entertaining the people in the office building across the way playing air guitar and air keyboards.

As I recall, the Eagles were on tour that summer. Didn’t we see them at Alpine Valley right around that date…June 20, 1980?

As for the music on WXXQ, yeah…it rocked. But those jocks weren’t so hot…they only opened the mic to say something maybe twice an hour.

It’s fun to imagine what might have been on the radio on my sixth birthday.

I was so crushed when Duran beat Leonard.

As for The Blue Lagoon, an old roommate and I – both of us who were entering our teens when that movie was released – realized that we had never lived in a world where Brooke Shields wasn’t a babe.
