Blooming heck, there was still some crap in the charts in 1968. Des O Connor was Number 1 with I pretend.

Got a few minutes to going to have a go at a new #introduction post (may be subject to editing or change later). Not new to Mastodon, just to this instance.

I'm Pam, nearly 64 (at time of writing), from the #Crumpsall (wiki it) Area of #Manchester. I like to talk #politics and #activism . Sometimes I'm controversial, sometimes not. I'm old school lefty. Ie not far left, and not on the right where some pretend to be on the left. I'm probably round about Clement #Attlee or Harold #Wilson or Jeremy #Corbyn on the real centre left but on certain issues it's variable.

I support #LGBT+ issues and like to educate and inform if I know what I'm talking about, or give opinions if I don't know as much as I think I do.

Love Music, but my favourite genres is #rock of all types except Metal and Thrash, particularly from the 1950s to the early 1980s. Favourite Radio Stations are #RadioCarolineFlashback and #BoomRadio with a little #MagicAtTheMusicals

I'm an atheist so will challenge godbotherers from time to time.

Tend to stand with the underdogs.

Interested in lots of things beside.

Listening to #RadioCarolineFlashback and they've got a remastered 2 hour programme from #Laser558 presented by DJ Erin Kelly from 1985.

It really was music radio reinvented at a time when there was a lot of good music around.

#PirateRadio had passed its peak in my opinion, but no one can argue with Laser's influence on British radio.
