The first time I ever heard "Bohemian Rhapsody" was when it was performed by the Arizona State University Marching Band in 2009.
The first time I heard Rush was through the car radio on KMJ, a talk radio station in Fresno, Calif. when I was driving south on Rte. 99 through the San Joaquin Valley, and I became an instant fan. When it was announced a few months later that he would be coming to KFI in Los Angeles, I sat in front of my 1937 Delco radio as he made his Southland debut.
First time I heard Buckley was on my Dad’s 1930’s Raytheon TV.
I first heard William F. Buckley on a 1937ish 12” round screen TV we had in our basement!
Stuff made back then lasted.
