Join me Sunday night at 6 for The Retro Lounge. I’m getting out the tape for a special edition of the show featuring measurements(how long is my ear?) and numbers. I’m recording inches, feet, yards and even miles (a lot of them) with the Proclaimers in a 1993 movie; a short amount of time with Don Henley; Alice Cooper scores with a teen anthem about a popular age; songs about height from Radiohead and Survivor; length with Dan Fogelberg and Billy Joel; checking out unusual measurements like a Sheppey; how tall is a Smoot?; a unit for fame with the topic from David Bowie and Irene Cara; the answer to the Star Wars question of how long is a parsec; more measurements dealing with animals; a popular numbered connection game; and more numbers with Joan Osborne, the Commodores, Split Enz and more.
The Retro Lounge is brought to you by Backstage, Thunder Bay’s newest music and accessory store at 215 Red River Road.
