Remember when your parents would say, \u201cI remember when I was a kid\u2026\u201d you would just role your eyes and think to yourself, \u201cShut up old people.\u00a0 Geez.\u201d\u00a0 Well, I sound like such an old fuck when I say shit like, \u201cI remember when I was a kid\u2026\u201d which I find hilarious.\u00a0 So much has changed when since I was a kid but honestly, I can say that when I was a kid, the radio was one of my closest friends.\u00a0 Back then, radio had heart, radio had soul, and radio had personality.<\/p>\n
I remember when I was a kid (here we go) growing up in New Orleans, WRNO was the fucking shit.\u00a0 That was the radio station to listen to if you were a rock n\u2019 roller.\u00a0 None of that B-97 FM pop bullshit.\u00a0 WRNO was the place where you could hear it all.\u00a0 Led Zeppelin, Boston, AC\/DC, Judas Priest, you name it.\u00a0 If it kicked ass, WRNO played it.\u00a0 My favorite DJ was this guy who I always called Warren Withya because he would always say, \u201cWRNO, this is Warren with ya!\u201d\u00a0 Warren was the fucking coolest.\u00a0 He was the night time DJ and Warren brought the good shit\u2026 literally.<\/p>\n
Every Friday night I would call in to Warren\u2019s show and he would literally talk to me for 30 minutes or more sometimes.\u00a0 Warren was my big brother of sorts and he always turned me onto some cool shit.\u00a0 I remember one time we were talking about Iron Maiden and I asked if he could play some.\u00a0 Warren literally carried Maiden albums into the studio with him and played them.\u00a0 Through Warren and through WRNO I found so many great bands and songs that would mold me and set the path towards a destination that I am still traveling to this day.<\/p>\n
