23 YEARS LATER
(Long Beach, CA) I think the reason we look back at a previous event in our lives and say “Man, it feels like it only happened yesterday”, is because maybe it really did. In the grand scheme of things, 23 years is nothing. A fart in the wind. The very nature of the human mind binds us to our conscious memories in a somewhat linear pattern, like a tunnel from point A to point B, disregarding every other event that took place between the two. A fast track replay. Cerebral time travel from the present to the past.
January 8th, 2006 at 6:00 PM P.S.T. marks the 20th anniversary of the birth of 105.5 KNAC FM Los Angeles. Two decades have passed since the first notes of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If you Wanna Rock and Roll)" shot through the Southern California airwaves like a banshee from hell and into the homes and cars of an unsuspecting listening public. 3,324 days later it was all over, but what a ride it was.
Man, it feels like it only happened yesterday............
