This Day in History
  As the World Turns Premieres (1956)Soap operas began in the early 1930s as 15-minute radio episodes and continued in that format when they began appearing on TV in the early 1950s. As the World Turns premiered as the first half-hour TV soap. The show, which primarily focused on two professional families in the fictional town of Oakdale, Illinois, ran for 54 years and aired nearly 14,000 episodes. For 20 of those years, it was most-watched daytime drama in the US. What interrupted a live broadcast of the show in 1963? More... Discuss |

Love the Traveling Wilburys and I miss Roy. Funny thing about their music. I like all the individual artists but I much prefer earlier Tom Petty over the stuff he produced with Jeff Lynne. I love ELO but I don't like it when that sound creeps into Tom Petty.
I was a little fuzzy on when the different songs were released, so I went and looked - I didn't know that about Lynne and to be honest, didn't realize he was in the TW. I like to think I know a fair amt. about music, but there certainly are gaps in my knowledge. (true about most everything else, I guess)
I'm the other way around about Petty's songs, preferring the stuff on "Full Moon Fever" (1989) over "You're Gonna Get It!" (1978) & "Damn the Torpedoes" (1979). My life was at much different points during those times, too...if that has anything to do with it. "Refugee"...don't know why, but I really never cared that much for that tune as well as "Don't Do Me Like That".
I sometimes wonder if the circumstances around the first time we hear a song doesn't mostly influence how we think about it. I don't like hearing tunes off of Foreigner's "Double Vision" album b/c it reminds me of someone who loved that music and that I heard it the first time at their house. I don't like thinking about that person and the tunes remind me of him, so....
Sometimes, when I'm listening to the radio while driving, a song will come on that takes me back to the time when it was popular, bringing a flood of memories.
