As a kid in the 1960s-early 70's listening to WRIG & WIFC and pestering the DJs with requests and telling them that they were playing the wrong so.

We continue our look at the music of 50 years agoâ¦.

Iâll admit I didnât listen to some of the albums we will profile in these pages when they were new. Central Wisconsin was not exactly a breeding ground for cutting edge music and without an older sibling to get there first, I wasnât hearing alot of British prog rock. Yeah, the radio would occasionally play a cut from ELP or Yes or the Moody Bluesâ¦but a band like Barclay James Harvest was unknown to meâ¦until I was able to explore the vast stacks of wax at WWSP, the student run radio station at my alma mater, UW-Stevens Point. Iâve talked before how different this station was compared to other college radio stations. Here, the students actually ran the show and by the time I got there in 1975 the music library had been built up by guys like Jerry Gavin and Chris Shebel and others who went on to sterling radio careers around the country. To a kid who grew up on Top 40

Next time someone âcherry-picksâ a bible quote at youâ¦itâs a few years oldâ¦but still relevant

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. Itâs funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding Godâs Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ⦠End of debate.
