Sonic Overload 6/2/14

I begin and end the show with adolescent touchstones—I suppose you could say that, anyway. The first song is a tribute to Ann B. Davis, who played Alice on the Brady Bunch and passed away over the weekend. That show went off the air in 1974 (although it lived on in reruns and there were the various reunion shows/movies). And that was also the year that Brownsville Station’s “Smokin’ In The Boys Room” was a big hit on Boston rock radio during the spring.  I was in the 8th grade and there were mini-courses we took towards the end of the year (damned if I can remember the one I took) and we’d play the radio in the classroom. That was one of the songs I’d always her. 40 years ago... as I always say, yikes!
