Some background – how did I get to be like this?

So I’m pretty sure it all started for me when as a kid in the 70’s I discovered the Dr. Demento radio show. I thought the weekly episodes were fun, but at the end of every year came a Christmas episode and it was AMAZING! For three years it was one of the highlights of the holiday season for me, and I finally decided to tape one of them. I played that cassette for years until it finally blew out on me. Recently, I’ve been able to buy some of the songs from it online, and many still hold up as favorites. At some point, I’ll go through and talk about which ones have stood the test of time and which ones haven’t, but I will say that it’s hard to walk through the produce section of a grocery store without thinking about how “most folks call them green onions but they’re really scallions.”
