Wikipedia: 'When astronaut Sally Ride became the first American woman in space on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1983, many in the crowd attending the launch wore T-shirts printed with a play on the lyric, "Ride, Sally Ride."'

Good work by the person who knew it was time to make those t-shirts?

slugluv1313:

for one of my high school English classes, we all had to select something to read in front of the class -- i chose to read "The Gift" (i had to play the record over and over again to get all the words -- no lyric sheet, and certainly no internet to look up lyrics in the 70s) -- i was the terribly shy quiet kid, always in the back of the class (often simply bc my last name begins with "Z") -- when i looked up after finishing, dead silence and gaping mouths and looks of horror, even the teacher -- this made me happy :)

awww thank you, Sara A and Robm!
the Velvets were definitely not well known back then -- finding their records was extremely difficult -- but thankfully the local library had a bunch of their LPs
(so it is just so weird for me to see them described as "shoegaze," etc. nowadays)

It is such a great idea. To do a show & play only songs from one band/ artist you particularly love. Once I played only Cocteau Twins songs at a new year's eve party which must have annoyed a lot of people!! I am having such a great time listening to your show. Many thanks again, Sara!! Take care.
