Anything But Gray

I am so bummed.

When I was 15 years old, I was in a hair salon getting my hair done. A song came on the radio…"Wishing on a Star" by Rose Royce. I said to the hairdresser, "Oh, I love this song." She tells me how this radio station (Kiss 108) plays it every Saturday at noon. I thought that was so cool and so I would listen, all the time.

Then when I moved to Alaska, it became something that made me feel "home". When I would go back on vacations, I absolutely HAD to listen to that song, Saturday at noon. HAD TO. It made me feel home, it was a huge comfort for me. One Saturday when I was back home, I was at my mother's house and my sister was home. (she was still in high school) I turned the radio to Kiss 108 so I could listen and there is a line in the song.."I never thought I'd see/a time would you be/so far away from home/so far away from me" my sister and I sang that line to each other. It was one of those cool moments that you don't forget…it was a bonding moment for my sister and I. That one little moment really made me realize that she did miss me. (Her and I didn't have the best relationship at the time..)

Anyway, Kiss 108 quit playing it. I wrote them and asked if they really did quit. And they did. I keep meaning to call when Matty is on (he's the morning DJ and has been at that radio station since I was a kid) and throw a fit…I'm pretty sure that it's been well over a year since they've quit playing it and I keep putting off calling and I think a part of it is because I'm scared. I'm scared it's really, really gone and once I call…there's nothing more I can do. I think that's what keeps me from calling…the finality of it.
I keep going to the website every once in awhile…hoping against hope that it's back on…but it never is.

Why do that? Why stop such a long standing tradition?
I mean it's 3 stupid minutes and I know a TON of people listened to that…
I know I listened to it for at least 18 years!
18 years.
I just want it back by the time I move back there…..lol.
I just want my friggin' song back.
