Very short aside.

The very first song I ever taped from the radio (those of you who are old enough will remember doing this, and our nemesis was the DJ WHO KEPT TALKING at the beginning of the song or the end. Argh.)... was "Heavy Metal," sung by Don Felder. Remarkably enough, I still love that song, which is why I'm writing - funny to still love a song you taped (literally!) something like 25 years ago. Yep.

That's all I've got. Signing out from my local library, ta!

Back around that time, I taped "Stairway to Heaven" and I didn't get a chance to leap across the room to shut it off before the WTUE DJ yelled, and I quote, "Le-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ed ZEPPELIN here on 'TUE!" To this day, whenever I hear that song, I mentally tack that ending onto it, because that's the version I listened to for many many years!
