Bossk, about the dead air thing, I've heard radios go out for minutes/hours/days without explanation from the radio stations (happened this week with my favorite radio station), but that was not the case with you.


It doesn't happen that often here in the States. Radio producers are very fickle, and dead air is bad for business. I think I've heard dead air three times in my life and only for a few seconds. That time, though, was just far too long with no acknowledgment of a problem. So, yeah, it was not regular dead air like you said.

MBJ, sorry to freak you out there. I always found it calming to think about. In fact, I've even jumped the fence to visit my friend in the cemetery at night and that never freaked me out either. My friend's spirit doesn't seem to allow it. Other cemeteries at night typically freak me out.

YIYF, I've done the whole Ouija Board thing too. Once. And only once. It worked. And I've tried long and hard to put the memories of it out of my head. Scared the living daylights out of me. Guess it didn't help that the movie Witchboard came out around the same time that I was playing with this thing.

I had thought through some of the logical stuff like the fact that it was a rock station and that Soul Asylum was the band du jour. But, in four years of listening to this station, they had never once played KISS. And, c'mon, my Soul Asylum song starting right at the line in the song that I use to memorialize my friend? Dead air can happen. Usually for only a few seconds until someone catches it and rights the wrong. But this was nearly 60 seconds worth with no acknowledgment from the station of some kind of error or technical difficulty (which almost always happens). The song had been playing and just cut out. Sixty seconds of the song disappeared. If you have any experience in radio, then you know that amount of dead air would wind up in the firing of a DJ or producer.

Plus, we all know that in-house lighting clearly has an affinity for Ford versus Chevy. It's the new Clapper... "Ford"=on; "Chevy"=off. Explains that one right there, doesn't it?

Ric, I consider it anomalous in that I can't explain it. Nor do I really want to. I like the idea that my friend visited me. There were one or two more after that, but nothing quite as dramatic. It's a very happy memory and one that I relish thinking about. It's quite nice knowing that, of all people he could've visited, he chose me.

I've got a friend who died about 12 and a half years ago. He was very close to his parents and to a few of his select friends (like me) and all kinds of funny things happened after his death to let us know he was still "here."

A picture of him that was hanging on his parents' wall would always wind up tilted. Whenever his parents straightened it, they would come back to find it askew yet again. I think they left it alone after that.

My friend was a huge fan of the Mustang redesign that came about in 1993. After he died, his parents were talking about getting a new car. It was between a Camaro and the Mustang he so loved. Whenever they called Chevy dealerships about Camaro, the lights in the house would go off. When they would call Ford dealerships, the lights came back on. They got a Mustang.

A little backstory on this one... my friend had a degenerative disease that kept him from being able to walk fully. Throughout high school, he was on crutches. When he got to college, he was remanded to a wheelchair. But he never let it affect him whatsoever. He did anything and everything he could with what he had. And one of his biggest passions was the band KISS. He went to every show he could go to and purchased any piece of memorabilia he could find. Shortly before his death was when the Soul Asylum song "Black Gold" became popular. There is a line in the song that says, "I don't care 'bout no wheelchair, I got so much left to do with my life." When he died, I wrote that line on an index card, laminated it, and put it inside the side pocket of a case of KISS cassettes he owned that his mother gave to me. The next summer, when I came back from school, I drove out to the cemetery where he was buried. It was right next to a railroad track and you had to drive over a bridge over the tracks to get to the cemetery. As I went over the bridge, I put my hand out the window, waved to the cemetery, and said, "hey Mike, I'm finally here to see you." As soon as I said that, the radio died. Complete silence. Nothing played for the next two minutes as I circled around to the front of the cemetery and entered the gate. As soon as I crossed into the gate, the radio came back on. I visited with him for a while and went back to my car. When I started the car, the radio came on and it was playing "Black Gold" right at the point in the song when they say the line that I used to remember him. After that song ended, right at the gates of the cemetery again, a KISS song came on the radio. I looked out the window and said, "thanks Mike. That's enough for now."

Has Ewa Sonnet been discussed yet? Of Poland? If not, I can post pics. I error on the side of caution because I am on dial-up, and my bits are precious, and I dont want to waste them on uploading pics of beautiful, busty ladies that no one wants to see.


Nadcracker, I don't think you'd hear any of us complain. By all means, post away!

MBJ, would this be that "hell of a dance" you're talking about?
