May 26, 1999: We all have them
What are radio dreams? They are songs that play out, wrong cuts, unidentified artists, and commercials playing but only through dead air. Radio dreams are transmitters never turning on; personal appearances without pants, jokes so funny you can’t recite them when you wake. Radio dreams are about getting fired, gaining new spins in places you’ve never heard of—becoming big in small places and program directors yelling and ordering. Radio dreams are about the world coming to an end and you forgot to send out the emergency activation signal.
