It Happened: The Wheels Thing
The Wheels Reunion came and went without too much of a hitch--and only one cocktail. Of course, within the first half our some woman reminded me of why I quit disc jockeying to begin with--b*tchy comments from skaters/dancers: "Are you going to play anything good? I mean this IS a reunion, so I thought there might be some music from the 80's or something..."
No, my dear, my plan was to find the most god-awful crap I could find and play it really loud! Of course, she'd probably LIKE that.
Kudos to Ric for driving up from Trinity. He's quite the skater, having done his rink time at the legendary SkateTown in Raleigh.
It was good to see my former co-workers and/or their now nearly (or fully) grown offspring.
If you're interested, here are the highlights of my play list for the time I was on (the first hour):
Everybody Have Fun Tonight--Wang Chung
Sunshine--The Partridge Family
Polk Salad Annie--Tony Joe White
Get On Your Feet--Junior Senior
Double Dutch Bus--Frankie Smith
Brandy--Looking Glass
Build Me Up Buttercup--The Foundations
Let's Get It On--Marvin Gaye
Love Shack--The B-52's
Backstrockin'--The Fatback Band
Brick House--The Commodores
Mr. Big Stuff--Jean Knight
Want Ads--The Honeycomb
YMCA--The Village
Fantastic Voyage--Lakeside
To show you how out of touch with the music these kids listen to today, one of the younger DJs asked me about the Junior Senior song. I was surprised they hadn't heard it. I thought it had been a hit. Apparently, I'm just too gay. (As if that were possible!)
Let's all go have cocktails.
Smooches, y'all,
BBF
