Two days removed from the end of 2005, today is the day to look back. I am currently listening to the AT10 Top 30 show and upon it's end will turn my attention to Country Top 40's Year End Countdown.
This year was unlike any other year I personally have ever been through. Musically it was a year when many of us who may have been too young or not in the know in 1988 got to experience in a way what that was like.
There were, to my knowledge two births to our small but close messageboard family. Ryan Karstens and his wife had a baby girl; while my wife and I had a boy. Both of us are experiencing parenthood for the first time.
There was the tragedies that befell the people in the aftermath of last Christmas's tsunami in India. The terrorist attack that July morning on the transit authority in England, and of course, who will ever forget shedding the tears over the destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
The death bell tolled loudly this past year, people intrical to our everyday lives such as Peter Jennings and William Rehnquist passed away. Others who influenced some of us spiritually like Adrian Rogers and Pope John Paul II have left us to travel to the permanent locale int he sky they tried to direct us all towards. Or those like Eddie Guerrero, Chris Candido, Johnny Carson, and Richard Pryor who just entertained us.
The top radio show story of the otherwise pretty quiet year was obviously ABC's decision to split with Bob Kingsley. After the first weekend, I must say ACC did better than I thought it would. So, time will tell whether we will have two strong competitors in country music or if one will eventually crush the other.
I'll close this out with this. Some of us disagree on some issues. But ultimately we all love radio shows and are bonded by the origination of the first, American Top 40. While not a strong tie to each other, it keeps us coming back to discuss it day in and day out. Without the show, I never would have met anyone who visits this site. So, thanks for the comradery guys (and girls if there are any).
This year has been a stressful one for some of us, while my story is well documented as it was written out of great depression and crying uncontrollably all day long that last Monday morning in November. Others in this room, their stories may not be totally known by all or even any one of us. As we start a new year, let me first thank you guys for the support and uplifting comments left when I posted it. And if you get a chance in the next day or two, send a prayer up each of the posters who post here.
Here's hoping your 2006 is the best year ever!
