But are you old enough to remember serials on the radio?

franklyscarlet.bsky.social•87 days ago

Like old timey radio shows?

alexzm4.bsky.social•87 days ago

Yes. Dick Tracy. The Shadow. And there was this mystery show I think on Friday nights. I was pretty little.

franklyscarlet.bsky.social•87 days ago

Oh! No, I don't remember those while they were on the air, but when my kids were little there was an XM channel that played those kinds of shows. They loved them on road trips

Well you are a little young for them. They died out in the early 60s.

I'm surprised they haven't made a modern comeback with the advancement of podcasts

Me too! And calling in on a rotary phone to win a radio contest!

There's nothing better than winning tickets with a rotary phone!

I can recall Paul Simon's version from before I'd hit puberty, and yet this song always thrilled when it played in the car...

I LOVE that song. I have at least 6 covers of it on my 28 hour cover playlist

This is the first track on my (thus far) 6 hour covers playlist:

I adore Sandra Bernhard's cover especially. As a fan of Hidden Citizens, you might appreciate her treatment of a Stones classic. Not Paint It Black, but still good...

franklyscarlet.bsky.social•87 days ago

Wait, Sandra Bernhard Sandra Bernhard?

mayhemmayhap.bsky.social•87 days ago

Yes. Without her, we're nothing.
